                                According to a 2010 study published in the *Journal of Poultry Science*, eggs from pasture-raised hens can have significantly higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins compared to conventional eggs, leading many to ask: Are some chicken eggs healthier than others?. This variation depends heavily on the hen’s diet and living conditions, not the shell's color.
