I think the term you want if "free ranged hens" it means that chickens can roam around fields our on end while cage chickens are born from eggs and put into a barn or a cage and they cant leave it they do get water and sunlight but they cant leave a bit like a prison they get food the only difference is that cage chickens tend to taste different and are much cheaper while free ranged take more money to keep them so they are more expansive and they taste better. An example of cage chicken is KFC and free ranged would be something that says on the box "free ranged"
hope this helped

Should chickens be caged?
This depends on the reason why you keep the chickens and for what purpose. Chickens raised solely for egg production are often kept in cages for both security and ease of care. Meat chickens are usually housed in large barn like structures and able to wander around. Chickens on farms are more often free range and are only placed in cages when they are ill or there is reason to think they are in danger from a predator. As for whether it is cruel to keep the hens caged all their life, a chicken who has never know anything but a cage from the time it is hatched would not likely be very happy away from the security it has know forever. The few battery hens rescued and raised on my farm are often happy to stay inside the single cage I have inside the chicken coop but as there is no door on the front of the cage they have the option of wandering the farmyard but choose not to.
