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.

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.
