free-range eggs

Roaming hen output

Free-range eggs come from hens allowed outdoor access rather than being confined to cages.

The term suggests more humane conditions, though standards vary widely—some hens roam freely, others have minimal outdoor time.

I only buy free-range eggs.

The designation commands a price premium over conventional eggs.
