> What's the difference between free range vs barn-laid eggs?
In both systems, hens are able to roam freely in a shed equipped with nest boxes, automatic feeding and watering systems, and perches. The main difference between barn and free range is that in a free range system, hens are given the opportunity to roam outdoors during daylight hours, whereas barn hens are kept indoors at all times.
