EGGS:

  • Iowa ranks 1st in the U.S. in egg production with around 50 million hens laying 15 billion eggs every year.
  • Iowa produces one out of every 5 eggs laid in the US.
  • The color of an egg yolk is determined by the hen's diet. The more yellow and orange plant pigments there are in the grain fed to a hen, the more vibrant the color of the yolk will be.
  • White eggs are the color preferred in most of the United States, but brown eggs are preferred in New England. A hen's color indicates the color of the eggs it will lay — White leghorn hens, the most common type in the United States, lay white eggs. Rhode Island Red hens lay brown eggs.
  • There are no significant differences between eggs of different colors, according to the American Egg Board, an industry group.
