I always thought this was funny. Being from Maine eggs are almost always brown, like 7/8s of what you find in the store is brown with a few cartons white ones mixed in.

Never knew the breed was one of the reasons (there are winter hardy white eggs layers) but it makes some sense. I always thought Mainers where just stuborn. :-P

Anyway, the Cornish Cross seems to be the meat bird of choice around here, you just need to be ready to butcher them when it's time or else you have leg problems.

I run some Rhode Island Reds for eggs, don't think I could eat them at this point, they've become pets.
