What color egg is the strongest?

No egg color is inherently stronger; shell strength depends more on the hen's age (younger hens lay stronger shells) than color, with white and brown eggs having similar strength and nutritional value, though darker brown or speckled eggs might sometimes come from hens with more varied diets or slight pigmentations, but this isn't a rule. The most important factors for overall egg quality are the hen's diet, health, and living conditions (like pasture-raised vs. factory-farmed), not just shell color.
