So i'm watching martha stewart on tv and she's with a bunch of ameritaitais yappin away and then one of them asks about the colour of chicken eggs. "i've been told that the colour of the eggs correlates directly to the colour of the chicken's eyes. is it true, Martha?"

say what? surely she can't possibly believe that. Martha didn't know. and i was just about to laugh at them and take the piss when i realized... i didn't have a freaking clue either. in fact... my husband had asked me that same question when he saw white eggs at the grocery store last week and i didn't have an answer for him then.

so i googled it (as they suggested on the programme) and guess what? its just an indication of the breed. see wikipedia's explanation. so next time someone tells you some cockamamy story about the colour of chicken eggs, u can tell them to bugger off.
