What makes an egg “high end”?

They put a little stamp on the egg that says "Eggstra Good"

The conditions the chickens are kept in. Normally you can buy factory farm eggs ($2-3/dozen), cage-free eggs ($3-6/dozen) where the chickens can still be kept indoors, or free-range eggs ($6-10/dozen) where the chickens get to forage in a pasture of some sort. The factory farm conditions are what causes such rapid transmission so the only farms left are the smaller ones.

tbh the biggest difference is the freshness. Getting them from a farmer's market or your neighbor is a huge difference, plus your neighbor is nicer to their chickens than the poultry plant

high end eggs are eggs made specifically in colorado, where its a liberal communist wild wild west for marijuana laws. they inject the chickens with THC and the eggs come out infused with it. the liberals in colorado feed them to their kids and what does it do? makes them lazy hippies who keep voting democrat.
