Know your Eggs
If you aren't able to raise your own chickens, them get the eggs you want from your local local market.
I have always wondered what is the difference between conventional eggs and cage free eggs? I did some research and this is what I found...
Conventional: Hens live in stacked cages, usually four to eight chickens to a cage with at least 67 square inches of floor space per chicken.
Cage Free: Hens live on the flour of a barn rather than the outdoors or in cages.
Free Range: Hens live outdoors or have limited access to the outdoors.
Organic: Hens are fed vegetables grown without any antibiotics, growth hormones or commercial fertilizers.
Omega 3: Hens are fed a diet containing flax seed, which produce eggs slightly more polyunsaturated fatty acids.
