One of the LTAs at school keeps chickens.
She had to electrify her fence after a fox decided to include her in its rounds, so for a while she was asking for "donations" when she brough in a basket of eggs. It's paid off now, but I still slip her a little bit of money for feed and so on. Much cheaper than buying them, and I get first dibs and can nab the smalls ones (the large ones make the 'rents poacher overflow) AND I know they are raised in very happy conditions.
The yolks are SO BRIGHT! If I bought scrambled eggs that colour in a cafe I'd swear they added food colouring...
