you can get pastured eggs. those are (supposedly) happy chickens running around, living a very good chicken life.

the difference in the eggs is striking: thicker shells, much deeper orange yolks.

Yolk color is fully controlled by the producer using feed supplements: https://www.dsm.com/markets/anh/en_US/products/products-caro...
interesting!
The orange is probably still vitamin b supplementation
My grandmother raised chickens; they had a huge field just for them (easily 10m² for each). The eggs were essentially the same as store-bought.
