Leave them raw in the shell up to 6 weeks in the fridge only. Cooked
only last about 3 days. Eggs are cheap, anyway, so why bother to
"stock up?"

But these are REALLY good eggs! Kid you not. Plus, we are supporting
"the little guy" instead of some corporate entity.

I don't mind giving more for a better product.

California recently passed a law which requires all hens to be housed in
such a way that they can fully stretch out their wings from time to time. As
a result, the cost of eggs in California has gone up because of the vastly
increased space requirements. But that's beside the point, because the eggs
we buy at the farmers' market are truly exceptional in quality, and I fear
they've spoiled us for lesser eggs.

Your outrage is noted and dismissed.

I have been getting eggs at an egg farm. They are cheap--2.45 for
a dozen jumbo eggs. But then I saw that although the hens are
free-running, I never see them, and it turns out they are just in
the barn.

Recently though, I discovered another place that no only has eggs
from hens that really have good lives but also pork and lard
products from pigs that get to enjoy their lives as they should.
The eggs, ungraded, cost $6 per dozen. I think they taste
slightly different, more yolky. The taste may not make enough
difference to justify the price, so the debate is how much can I
pay to allow hens to live nice lives.

Are you saying that YOU are the arbiter of "a good life" for a chicken
or know when a pig is "enjoying its life as it should"? That's a pretty
anthropomorphic outlook.

Well, I think if, for example, the hens are cooped up unable to
move and abusing themselves and others because of the stressful
conditions, that is not a good life.
