I bet it's the English weather. The chickens feel like shit hence the brown eggs.

What's passive aggressive about it? They are running a business by bringing the product they think will sell to market. If there was a market for white eggs, I think someone would have figured that out by now. I'm just answering your questions, as are many others, but you are basically asking why the sky is blue and water is wet.
I frankly don't care about the color of the egg on the outside.
I care about what is inside. And that depends on how the chicken that laid the egg actually lives.
I take a white egg from a freely roaming chicken that gets a variety of foods over one that's brown but laid in a breeding battery, with rather bad diet.

And the question was answered.. You actually changed the goal post of your question somehow..
First part: The color of the egg depends on the chicken breed, entirely.
Second part: Since you dominantly get white eggs, conclusively to the first part, they breed primarily chicken in the UK that lay white eggs.
Which means other breeds are not native to the UK (which after all is an island) and need to be imported. Now check your quarantine laws for that matter, whether it is easy to import such animals, and whether it would be lucrative to do so.

All of the eggs I get are shades of brown. Every chicken lays a slightly different color. Some of my farmers even say they know which chicken laid it just by looking at the egg.
But, we also have mass production of eggs, and for some reason the industry decided we like white eggs, so they breed chickens that lay white eggs. /shrug.
Idea for your next thread: ask why cheese is always shown as orange in cartoons.

I've come across both white and brown eggs here in Denmark, my guess is different breeds have different shell and yolk colours.
Brown eggs? Whelp, time to make Brown Chickens build the wall for us as a punishment for stealing our yolk to their country!
