Always make me laugh when people say 'he can't boil an egg' inferring sub-educated!  Boiling eggs, and cooking eggs generally is quite a skill to get to 'your' taste.

I pour a boiling kettle of water into a pan on the hob, and then using a ladle, fill the ladle with the boiling water - put an egg on the ladle then swirl the egg round, this seems to take the shock out of the shell cracking.  Then I immerse in the boiling water.  Very soft yolk 5 mins, soft to custardy 7 mins, totally boiled 9 mins.  This is for medium good quality (ie not battery farmed) sized.

In the UK we have a chicken breed called Burford Browns - £2 for six but well worth the extra money - they taste divine however you cook them.

How much are six free range eggs in the US?

It depends on the store, and the state we live in (West coast is generally way more expensive to live). On the East coast, they can run around $3.30 for a dozen (typically sold this way here).  

Actually they are free - IF you have a cousin with chickens, and IF you are willing to drive over an hour to visit them...

HA!, yeah okay....let's see, the gas you'd use at $2.79 a gallon (in MD anyway), the wear and tear on the vehicle ($$?), an hour taken out of your day for the errand versus pleasure......uh, free eggs? Tee-hee 

LOL, Yup - but fresh is soooo good

For sure!!  (closest I could get for the egg) LOL

I tried to buy the pasture raised eggs and can get a dozen medium to large size eggs for $5.69 to $5.99 a dozen....that is in Southern California at Ralph's Grocery Store....other stores carry them as well....

we have a local farm that charges 99 cents a dozen - only problem is that there is no size standard. so if you're baking you need to be sure the batch you get is similar
