    You should always buy the organic ones, even if they are so much more expensive. The conditions in which the chickens are kept, to produce the cheap eggs, is absolutely, inhumanely fucked up. You can see the difference in the yolk as well: the ones produced by chickens, that are fed better, and not kept in a way they cannot even move, are orange, while the ones by chickens kept and fed horribly, are yellow.

      Organic is kind of a scam. At least not what people imagine. What you want is floor raised, or even better, free range. And grain fed. In every country the definitions are slightly different. Look into it. What you want is hens that are out in the open, so that they follow natural day cycles, that can move around a bit, and fed grain instead of feed, which is often made from fish flour and such.

        Oh, that is good to know. Here organic includes the highest standards for chicken wellfare, since they have to be let out etc., compared to just freerange that has tiny floorspace requirements, inside.
