What is the difference between fresh eggs and store bought?
Farm fresh eggs are typically free-range, natural, and sometimes organic. The hens are always kept in better conditions, and to get better laying rates are usually very happy and healthy. The eggs from these hens is almost always more nutritional - due to the free range factor. They will have more Omega 3's than store bought. Eggs from stores come from places where a hen has less than 67 square inches of space, crammed into a cage with 4 to 11 other hens (cage free means the chickens are all in one area, but is still just as crowded). They will never see sunlight, scratch in the dirt, roost, nest, or free range as a chicken is meant to. They are fed nutritionally deficient food. The eggs are laid on, or in the presence of the rotting corpses of the hens that could not survive the horror of their environment.
