I’ve started eating my eggs raw recently, I get them from my local shop and they claim they are free range, but I’ve seen online they only need like 3 meters or something of space to be considered free range, are these eggs safe to eat, I assume they are still grain fed to a degree, but they may also find their own insects

@veloman I eat raw eggs produced by chickens in enriched cages, no problems for many years. free range/pasture raised is still better obviously.
But the more they are in natural environment, natural movement, natural food and sun the better for the quality of the raw eggs.

Free-range eggs are mostly a scam because the chickens are placed in flat, grassy fields.
They will scratch around in the grass near the chicken coop but will never go further if there are no trees to reassure them.
Chickens are forest animals; they need trees to thrive and feel safe, otherwise they won't explore the territory and won't have a diverse diet.
What's more, forests are the ecosystems with the most biomass in the world, so they are full of insects, etc. So, apart from supplementing their eggs with meat or insects, eggs that are not raised in forests will always be more or less crap, but okay for primal if they are not vaccinated and fed whole grains without glyphosate.
Personally, I buy my eggs from individuals or small farms that respect the natural habitat of chickens with beautiful land with trees, water sources, in short, everything that can bring biodiversity, which will promote the well-being of the chickens, etc.
between $2.50 and $3 for 12

@veloman Yea you might wanna find an egg plug rather than the store. There's probably communities for this on facebook or something. They're likely cheaper and better quality than the largescale grocery store operations. I would say that it should be fine either way though. I've had no problem with conventional eggs but high quality ones can make a difference. They are much more nutrient-dense and have a way better fat ratio.

@Swansven Same thing, no real problem with conventional eggs, except that once you've tasted really good eggs, you don't want them anymore, and they're almost always a little more expensive than community eggs.
One day, I found a guy selling eggs of incredible quality. The yolks were like orange jelly and the whites were like oyster water, not pasty and yellowish like the eggs from the store. They were a real treat.
