Hi Kathleen, I agree with everything you've said. We also have free-range chickens (and some turkeys and ducks). Cracked the corn ourselves (my neighbor happens to grow some -- I live amid large farms and the closest house is 1/2 mile away with farm fields between).
Within 10 miles are large turkey factories, and a little farther are some egg factories. That's where store-bought eggs (and turkeys) come from. The conditions aren't good (they're clean, but unhealthy for the animals). But even those eggs are better for us carnivores than just about any other food.
