Cage free does not mean they're out in a field. It means all of the birds are in one crowded space. Eggs that come from birds that genuinely roam the pasture are exceedingly rare.

- darth_avocado 2y agoThere’s cage free, then there’s pasture raised and then there’s regenerative farming. All of them don’t include chickens roaming around as freely as you think they do. Cage free especially just means they’re stuffed like sardines in giant barn, but are not in cages. Pasture raised often means they’re still in netted coops that move around on a pasture. I think regenerative farming comes closest to allowing chickens to roam around, but it’s still not freely.
