Free range eggs from a small producer with less than 100 birds is ideal.With factory farming caged birds are better off then the free range ones - conditions in the barns are apalling and only a very small number ever leave the barn.
Go visit a battery farm some time and compare their sheds.

i would loveto have 5-10 hens of my own when i'm settled (wife and kids if absolutely necessary) and have my own supply of eggs.
really need to get my arse into gear about finding a butcher and fishmonger near me, apparently there's a decent butcher within walking/cycling distance. there's also a farmer's market every thurs, but i'm usually in uni :(
