"Free range" actually isn't so easily defined, and most "free range" eggs, come from hens living in conditions that most reasonable people would still consider absolutely appalling.

Yea, now I aim for pasture raised which is essentially the gold standard here in the USA and implies the hens lived primarily outdoors and ate what they wanted.

Lots of time "free range" is the same as caged, just... without the cages. The hens are too fat to go anywhere anyways.
