    they come form a brown hen and a white hen

    A white chicken lays white eggs. A brownish chicken will lay brown eggs. If you look at each side of a chicken's head, there is a small coloured shape near the ear. That shape will be the colour of the egg. If that shape is light brown, then the eggs will be light brown. If it is a dark brown, then the eggs will be dark brown.
    The chicken who lays the brown egg doesnt wipe its arse! (thats what they used to tell me on the farm when I was a kid).
