free range eggs
Roaming hen's output
Free range eggs come from hens given access to outdoor space rather than being confined to cages.
The term suggests more humane conditions, though standards vary widely—some operations provide meaningful outdoor access while others offer only token compliance.
We switched to free range eggs after seeing how battery hens are kept.
The label often commands premium prices.
