Monday Fun Fact Mar 7
Eggs!

The color of the shell depends on the breed of the chicken that laid it. The age of the chicken and its diet will also affect the egg's color. White, brown, blue, and even green - yes! green! - are all possible eggshell colors. No matter the color, the egg tastes the same. We see white and brown eggs the most because they are cheaper; blue and green eggs are more rare.
The color of the yolk depends on the hen's diet. Chickens who eat vegetables have a darker yellow yolk. Chickens who eat barley will have lighter color yolks.
