My wife claimed there was no difference for a very long time. She had the same experience when we needed to buy store eggs last winter.
Strangely, when going from store eggs to home eggs the difference isn't as pronounced.

Oddly enough, others can and cooks say the whites are much easier to whip.
I think in order to make the comparison fairer, you should do a blind tasting of the two kinds of eggs at your home, in the same sitting, and under the same conditions as much as possible.
Overkill? Maybe, but also warranted, given that there are experiments out there asserting people cannot really tell the difference.
Store bought eggs are older, have the protective mucus coating removed, are washed with chemicals and come from chickens inundated with medication and fed the cheapest feed possible. If you think that none of those things affect flavor or texture I dont know what to say.
A fair comparison would compare home grown with non-premium eggs that most people are eating and are cost comparable. The test must also not be funded by an egg producer or supporter of big egg, if you grant calling egg factories as such.
There's a bunch of benefits to eating home grown eggs (or free range eggs): the hens are treated better, and you won't get all those nasty chemicals.
