It depends on local regulations, but here in Denmark, organic eggs must meet the following regulations:
-Maximum of 3000 chickens in a flock and a maximum of 6 chickens per square meter in the coops, which must allow daylight in.
-The chickens must have access to perches and nests.
-At least one third of the flooring must be loose bedding, such as straw or sand, to allow the chickens to dust bathe.
-The chickens must have all-year access to outdoor areas with at least 4 square meters per chicken. It must be covered by grass or other vegetation, and must provide shelter from wind/weather. An outdoor area must stand unused every other year, for parasite prevention and to let the vegetation regrow.
-Beak trimming is prohibited.
-Feed must be organic and must include roughage.
While it's not perfect, it's a damn sight better than battery caged hens.
