  • White eggs come from chickens with white feathers and brown eggs come from chickens with brown feathers. There is no nutritional difference between brown and white eggs.
  • Chickens that lay eggs are called ‘layers’ while chickens raised for meat are called ‘broilers’.
  • The average hen lays about 340 eggs per year. That’s more than 28 dozen!
  • Even though there are nearly 200 breeds and varieties of chickens in the world, the majority of laying hens in North America are Single-Comb White Leghorns.
  • All eggs sold in Canadian grocery stores are graded Canada A by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Eggs are fresh in stores—washed, inspected and ready to use within about a week of being laid.
  • Canadian eggs do not contain any added hormones or steroids.
  • Eggs are one of the most healthful, readily available and inexpensive whole proteins. It is a common and staple food around the world—every culture has egg dishes!
