Am I the only one having trouble finding white eggs? I want to dye some and I can only seem to find brown ones!

People like brown ones better so they breed chooks for that now I could give you some easily, but it's a wee way from Hamilton Nelson. Pity!

most of the commercial eggs from from Brown shavers which lay brown eggs - I could give you some but not much help from Aucks!. You need to get yourself some white leghorns , awesome layers of nice medium-large white eggs and easy to keep :).

I thought I'd seen the odd set of white eggs at the store. Maybe check the organic/free range or other specialty eggs.

or if you just want them for painting - try duck eggs :) can get them in the supermarket and they're usually bigger than the hens eggs so more painting surface :P

Interestingly, in the USA it is only the white eggs which are popular... Funny huh?
