free range, definitely. Ideally from my own hens!
Free range egg is when the chicken is allowed to move around in a filed and have a life. Battery eggs is when the chickens are caged and can not move around and they sometimes get infections.
battery or barn eggs most likely battery. sadly!
No
To make sure that the animal isn't battery farmed
A battery. Or numbers and a letter if you prefer young chap. A battery. Or numbers and a letter if you prefer young chap.
The egg as such probably isn't much different. But the chicken that laid the free range egg has probably led a happier, more natural Life than a battery chicken.
There are two ways, free-range and battery. Battery is one most common where one would keep his chicks contained in cage for either eggs or meat. Free-range is letting your chickens roam freely around your property, then being snatched while roosting for slaughter the next day.
While it is impossible to quantify how many companies still use the battery system, it is known that in the UK alone more than 16 million hens are still kept in cages by large companies. The trend is to reduce battery hens and offer "cage-free" chickens and chicken products now. Cage free is simply the release of the birds from cages to the floor of a massive building where the birds are still crowded. Cage free is NOT free range. Consumers would not stand for the price increases involved if all eggs and chicken meat were to be based on the cost of free range vs. cage free.
Eggs from battery hens, i.e. hens that are kept in cages (known as batteries) where several hens live together in one cage. These hens cannot roam freely as free-range hens can.
Free range means that the livestock or cattle, usually poultry, was given the freedom of movement.In other words, the livestock were allowed to roam freely in an enclosure or field, rather than being kept locked in sheds or barns like battery hens.
Free range = de granja Free-range chicken = pollo de granja
Free range chickens get to enjoy a varied diet. Most farms feed free range birds a balanced seed mix but allow the chickens to wander about searching for treasures and weeding the garden. The birds also use muscles for lots of extra exercise thereby developing better flavor "dark meat".
