Quest for a humane egg

A friend of mine has been trying to practice a humane diet. She says that giving up eggs is especially hard. I thought maybe it was possible to find places to buy eggs that are only from chickens that are treated properly. When I bought eggs this morning, I noticed that some are labeled "Free Roaming." I bought some, just to help me get into the right spirit, not that I trusted the label or had any idea what it might mean.

After I got home, I did some research and found some examples of what it might mean:

Maybe I can find a some people who raise chickens, who take good care of them, and who will sell me some of their eggs.
