Which ones are healthier for you, barn eggs or fresh range eggs?!
Answers: both are equivalent in nutrition
Not much difference in the way they're raised or nutrition wise! And, they are equally bad for you, due to their cholesterol content.
The differences are ethical/philosphical. Do you want to eat an egg from a chicken held in shackles or from a chicken that gets to peck around a yard, eating what they want, and enjoying fresh air and sunshine?
I also agree with the second respondant that eggs are bad for you anyway.
both the same homegrown eggs are better if they are your chickens--might as well eat what they produce-only drawback with homegrown is if there is a rooster running around -nothing grosser then a egg that's developing into embryo and you crack it open--kinda ruins the appetite
according to the book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver, range eggs are if they are fed on a grassy range. the variety of foods they find in grass increases their nutrient content over feed-fed chickens. some free range birds, however, scrape by on the name through loopholes (like the barn door is left open for a certain number of hours a day, even if the chickens never walk through it), so the only way to be sure you're getting these grass-fed chicken eggs would be to talk to your local farmer at a farmer's market or the farm.

Eggs are eggs... all the same.
Flavors may be different depending upon what the hens eat.
Theoretically they should contain the same nutrition. It's more of an ethical decision regarding the conditions the chicken lives in. I would never knowingly eat a battery hen egg, but of course they are used in processed food.
