What is the difference between Free Range and Cage Free eggs?!


Question: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/0311...

"free range" means the chickens have access to the outside (even if it is a 2'x2' square "yard")

"cage free" has no legal meaning but farmers find it less misleading than "free range" so any chicken not kept in a cage can qualify.

free range are eggs like from chickens that runn around free like in a coop.cage free eggs are from chickens that are in a kinda like warehouse in a nest and not caged up like a asembley line so to say.we have chickens in a coop and they lay eggs every where they want(or nest)

Free Range eggs come from chicken that have an open Field to live in and good food to eat, Cage Free means they are in huge warehouse crammed up so they can barley breath , stacked on top of each other, but at least they aren't in a cage.

Free the chickens! Chicken poop chapstick for everyone!
