WHAT DOES THE EGG BE BROWN OR WHITE?

in #egg5 years ago

If we give a short answer to this question; This situation varies according to the type of chicken.

Eggshell consists mainly of calcium carbonate. That's what gives him his white color.

However, some species cover their eggs with natural pigments to create a camouflage effect.

Thus, they will protect their offspring from predators, which will bring the continuation of their species. What makes the egg brown is a pigment called protoporphyrin.

The color of the chickens varies depending on the type of egg, sometimes we encounter, brown eggs are not right to claim that it is healthier to consume.
