    You probably just got eggs from a Hip Hop chicken.

    Just because something is labeled "cage free" doesn't mean it's good hence I buy pasture raised from Vital farms brand because their eggs taste better than egglands best. I trust their brand.

    "Hens producing pastured eggs may indeed live in lush pastures — or they may merely have access to a patch of dirt outside their barn. Eggs labeled “cage-free” typically means the hens that laid them were free to move about inside a barn kitted out with an aviary system of roosts, nests and feeding stations — but with no outdoor access at all."

    Well, this is actually an excellent point. If you want loose, light and fluffy yolks, you should go for the cheapest eggs.

    Pretty much this. I still buy cheap eggs but only for baking, frying and whatever thing that doesn't require me needing the taste of egg

    I use the expensive ones for my breakfast sunny side up.

    I don't mind paying a little more if I know the hen wasn't in a cage where it couldn't move its wings.

    Honestly, I've never noticed. No disrespect to anyone, but I just look for best price.

    Fertile hen eggs have same effect as d-bol.

    Get a couple of chickens and secure your own supply of fresh, free-range chicken eggs.

    This is a thing that we have to stop. I want Obama on this and the priority to be higher than ISIL.

    I took it to the next level and ate some eggs from the local ducks living in our neightborhood pond. Tasted like normal eggs but with darker colored yolk.

    Since egg prices have doubled where I am, I assume they must all be cage free now.

    By all means, free eggs must be caged.

    Do they have sharp talons?


    Son I didn't understand a word you just said.


    Also, genius marketing putting the word "Free" in there and charging more.

    I get my eggs from my unpasteurized milk co-op. They are 4 bucks a dozen. I do have to wash them first.

    I'm not hipster at all. I just think they taste better which the reason I prefer corn fed beef.

    Also, I had no idea that so many cityboys were so consternated about a few damn chicken eggs.

    Every morning you go check the birds, take a few eggs into the house. It's not complicated.
