The egg color produced by Barred Rock chickens is predominantly brown. The shade of brown can vary slightly between individual hens, and environmental factors may also influence the intensity of the color.
The brown eggshell is a naturally occurring trait determined by the hen’s genetics. Consumers often associate brown eggs with perceived health benefits or superior quality, though this is generally a misconception. The shell color primarily reflects the breed of the hen and does not significantly impact the egg’s nutritional content.
