Caged eggs are laid by hens that are kept in tightly packed cages and not allowed to roam free. Most commercially sold eggs in the United States are caged eggs unless labeled otherwise on their packaging.
Caged hens are usually in one spot and are fed artificial nutrients. Free range are what you think of in a traditional hen coop where they eat what they come across as well as feed that might be given to them.
I have never seen chicken eggs so wild and crazy that they needed to be caged. But seriously, nearly all egg farms are now finding ways to get their layer hens out of cages and into large barn settings to produce their eggs.

NO. Despite what you may hear, battery hens do not receive growth hormones. Hormones are illegal for use with livestock in all but a few countries. Not to mention the cost of the hormones far outweighs the return in profit to the operators of factory farms. Battery hens grown for meat purposes depend on cheap mass production to make profit. Bans on hormones in poultry have been in place in the U.S.A. since 1952, In Australia since 1976 and in Canada since 1982. All poultry is closely inspected and hormonal levels tested constantly.Please see Related links
