That is a direct result of free range. As a farmer we have to go out to the pasture and collect the free range eggs, as opposed to a confined operation where the hen lays her eggs and a conveyor belt take the egg to the sorting room.

What are barn eggs?
Barn eggs are a term used for eggs found outside the regular nesting boxes and often cannot be determined how long ago they were laid by the hen. Some farms allow the hens to "free range" inside the barn on a farm where they are relatively protected from predators and sheltered from inclement weather. Most hens will lay their eggs in nesting boxes but sometime they will lay the egg in any old pile of hay or straw and are often not found for days or weeks after.
Explain the difference between organic eggs free range and free run eggs vs supermarket eggs?
Confusing isn't it. Lets get this cleared up for you.Certified Organic eggs are eggs from hens who are fed a diet of organic foods. Grains that have not been grown with chemicals and the hens are not treated with medications. "Organic eggs" does not always mean the hens are free range or even free run. Organic eggs can come from chickens kept in cages all their life. They are just not fed with foods that have insecticide or chemical fertilizers applied while growing.Free range eggs. These eggs are collected from hens who have the run of the yard and can forage outside in fields and bushes. Free range means exactly that, the hens are free to go where they wish, free range hens sleep in a chicken coop at night safe from predators but are allowed out during the day to supplement their food with whatever they can find. Not all free range eggs are "organic" The free range hens can be fed with medicated grains, treated with health preventative medicines and can also eat greenery treated with chemical fertilizers, which makes them NON organic.Free run eggs. Sounds a bit like free range but there is a big difference. Free run eggs are from chickens who are not kept in cages but who are kept in large barns. These hens are allowed to roam around the interior of the barn but do not have access to fresh air, fresh food and greenery.
Can you sell free range eggs?
