I normally buy free-range eggs.

But the other day the shop was way low on eggs and the closest I could get were barn-laid (which is where the hens aren't kept in cages but are free to wander around a large barn. Supposedly). I always check the eggs when I buy them to make sure they're not cracked, and I don't tend to keep them in the fridge as there's rarely room, and it's never been a problem before having the eggs on the bench for a week.

Until ( today )

Built for comfort.
