That was sort of my point: eggs from chickens raised on open pasture are not commercially available. If you get a box labeled "free range" it's meaningless. So why bother getting it.

The color of the yolk has nothing to do with free range, but rather if they eat beta carotene. You could simply add that to the feed and it would also change the color.
