I also prefer to pay a lot more for free-range eggs and chickens (the
chickens taste better also).
They cost me $5.70 per dozen Jumbo eggs (80grams ea) free-range.....I
checked out the price of battery eggs last week in the stupidmarket
and they were $4.90.....not a whole lot of difference in the long run,
and I can eat them with a clear conscience that the chickens aren't
living tortuous lives!

I'm not a rabid greenie (actually a city grannie)....the eggs
definitely taste a lot better though. As someone said "eggier",
lol.
So....not a lot of difference between New Zealand prices and
Australian, where I live.

Iknit.
