Both options are for losers. The only thing worse is a boiled egg.

Eggs are fantastic scrambled, in an omelet, frittata, tortilla espanola...why waste them making depressing diner food?
 
Over medium, not easy. :facepalm:

Eggs : omelet::bread : pizza

It shares the same foundation but it's not the same dish.

I like sunny side up but only of they're perfect, which is to say fully solid whites, fully liquid yolks. I make them that way at home but it seems to be too much to ask at most restaurants. And you run the risk of runny, snotty egg whites, which is naaaaaaasty.
So when I go out it's over easy. Still dippable but a safer bet when the cook has to make 7 people's eggs at the same time

salmonella is going to be on the surface of the shell, so if it gets into the eaten part of the egg at all, it's likely going to be the white, which should be fully cooked if over easy. The risk is definitely non-zero, but it's verrrrrry low

Word. I’ve got 4 chickens at the house. They look like dinosaurs and kind of freak me out. We could probably use them somehow.

Hey, we have chickens too. We got them specifically because they are basically modern dinosaurs, and my son is a paleontology buff. Farm fresh eggs, over easy (just shy of medium really), with a slab of buttered sourdough toast is perfection.

Chickens are kind of freaky! We always had a few dozen chickens when I was a kid - it was one of my chores to feed them and I was terrified of the rooster, he used to chase me around and peck at my ankles
 
yolks gotta be runny. over easy if you got the skills or sunny side up if you dont but dont cook them for too long or they go in the bin.

tip for sunny side up: put a tablespoon of water into the lid for the pan and then cover the eggs as they are cooking. the water will create steam that will help cook them.
