I do find a tremendous difference between my eggs and factory eggs. IMO it's the grass and sunshine that makes the difference. My greenhouse eggs lack the dark orange yolk and shells aren't as strong and taste closer to store bought. A friend of mine had a nutritional analysis done on his eggs and the results were significantly different than what you find on egg cartons. I can't remember which vitamins, but many were higher and the omega 3s and 6s were significantly higher. He was mad that he couldn't use his analysis to advertise his eggs, but the law requires use of the USDA published analysis. I think they strive for the lowest common denominator.

This has been interesting to read through. c:

I don't have access to other kids of eggs but I've done side by side comparisons of store bought and eggs from girls and noticed a difference. Store eggs were kind of bland in comparison.

You can follow @KikisGirls lead and try to find some different eggs at an Asian market or health food store. I'm now curious to try turkey, quail, and guinea eggs!

Kimivat 2 whole cooked quail eggs today. I swallowed this first one whole cause I am still grossed out. The second one I chewed for a second. I am going to have to do this again...when I can pay attention to the exact taste. Good news is it's not much different than a chicken egg.

I did the taste test with guinea and chicken eggs. Thankfully I'm not a short order cook because I wasn't able to cook them consistently, but both were made with soft yolks. I should have cooked the guinea eggs just a tad longer to get the tops white but I'd already overcooked the bottoms because they were so thin.

My chickens just started laying and one of the first eggs I cracked had a big wash of blood inside. I gave that one to the dog.

The guinea eggs have really hard shells and do taste different to me. The white is thinner and the yolk is rich with a slightly nutty taste. The chicken eggs tasted like normal eggs and as you can see, the white is much fuller looking. I preferred the soft pillowy white of the chicken egg and the rich flavorful yolk of the guinea egg.

Thank you @Ms Biddy ! This is great. I definitely notice that my chicken eggs (vs store eggs anyway) that they have a really thick white. It's soooo good.

I've got duck eggs, Chicken eggs, and turkey eggs, waiting for my Guineas to start laying. I prefer duck eggs over chicken eggs when it comes to frying them, Fried duck eggs for some reason taste better to me, Although they don't make the best scrambled eggs, Turkey eggs I don't like, They're pretty rubbery/chewy, I haven't tried scrambling them yet though... Can;t wait to try some Guinea eggs~

My favorite is a fried duck egg and bacon sandwich!!!
