We have brown eggs too, and if you get farm eggs they come in brown, tan, grey, white etc...

White eggs come from white chickens and brown eggs come from brown-ish chickens. Most of the eggs in your supermarket come from the following breeds of chickens: the White Leghorn, the Rhode Island Red, the New Hampshire, and the Plymouth Rock.

White Leghorn chickens are white and lay white eggs. Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire and Plymouth Rock chickens are all reddish brown and lay brown or brown-speckled eggs.

as a person who has chickens(well my father does), let me chime in as I have an unlimited supply of eggs.
