When my scout troop did their horse care badge, we stayed at a
friend's horse farm. She also had chickens, and showed up at our
tents the next morning with fresh from the hens eggs. OMG! Maybe it
was being outdoors all night. Maybe it was cooking over a campstove,
but those had to be the absolutte best eggs I'd ever tasted.

The stores sell cardboard by comparison.
