barn eggs
Hen house output
Barn eggs come from hens housed in enclosed barns rather than battery cages, allowing the birds to move freely indoors without outdoor access.
The term appears on egg cartons as a welfare designation between caged and free-range: The supermarket stocks both barn eggs and free-range options.
