In addition, cage free hens live in housing system are able to stretch their wings, run around and lay eggs in the nest. Thus, hens are able to express their natural behaviors compared to hens in battery cages

However, they might not access to outdoor, few of cage free systems let hens to play outside.

The main reason the hens are not allowed to go outdoor that it is difficult to control predators. As you know, the foxes and coyotes are predators live around cage free system.

In term of price, sure, cage free eggs much more expensive than confined hen’s eggs. The price could be double or more. I found US$ 2.26 for 12 regular eggs, while 12 cage free eggs are US$ 3.96.

We just usually get the ones that aren't cage-free. Occasionally, we will know someone who raises hens and has eggs.

Those cage free ones are pretty expensive. I have to wonder the process they go through getting to the store. Interesting topic.

All the things you have to consider raising chickens. We have thought several times we would love to have them in our backyard, but we do have a lot of predators around.

Οι κότες ελεύθεροι βοσκής δεν κοστίζουν πολλά χρήματα στον αγρότη.. παρόλο αυτό τα αυγά είναι πιο ακριβή γιατί θεωρούνται και είναι πιο υγιεινά αν και η ακρίβεια είναι θέμα μάρκετινγκ

We have had both and love the cage free. Fortunately, our neighbor decided to raise chickens so we have a good supply!

I always try to buy cage free or organic/ free range whatever has the most freedom for chickens.

i tried cage free eggs a lot of times especially when i was a kid and we have poultry. Caged chickens are more stress and sad that's why i believed that the cage free chicken who are happier can give us a more healthier eggs.
