I wonder if farm-raised chickens' eggs are the exception to the last point? They're pretty superior in most ways from what I know.
Which, regarding baking, is nothing, to be fair.
My chickens’ eggs have GIANT dark orange yolks inside of a plethora of different colored shells!
Make a custard and report back how many eggs it took!
I’ve never made a custard before! Maybe I’ll do that!
It is simple, and the concept behind it is used in a million different ways, other than custard.
I think that's mostly incidental, more related to the time supermarket eggs spend in storage before they make it to your plate
That has a part in it for sure, but chickens raised on small farms are handled way better too. Better fed, better rested, better exercised. I'd have trouble believing that doesn't have any impact on the final result.
I wouldn't be surprised if the difference in feed is the biggest thing
