According to scientists, the color of the egg depends on the genetics of the chicken.
So depending on the type of chicken and its genes the eggs can vary towards many colors, like White, Brown, or even Blue!

The color of the egg is determined by the genetics of the hens. The BreedĀ of the hen will indicate what color eggs he will produceĀ
