As you have used the term Battery I assume you are not in North America. Here in North America The price of a dozen Grade A large eggs here is around $2.50 in grocery stores. The price of a dozen Large free range eggs is about $1.00 more or $3.00 These prices vary depending on where you are located and where you buy the eggs. Farm fresh eggs bought right off the farm are often within the same price range as from local grocery stores but much fresher.
Well there basically the same as normal eggs but free range eggs are for vegetarian people
free-range" eggs produced by hens that are allowed to roam freely and are not confined to a cage. However, because production is limited, "free-range" eggs are more expensive
The yolk of a free range egg is normally darker orange in color. Much more tastier than a poor caged bird. If you buy from a local farmer then they will be able to tell you how their chickens are kept. Eggs from the supermarket come from commercially raised chickens. The USDA has no regulations on what constitutes are free range egg. Therefore a non-free range chicken can have free range eggs. And a commercially raised free range chicken is usually not free range.
That is a direct result of free range. As a farmer we have to go out to the pasture and collect the free range eggs, as opposed to a confined operation where the hen lays her eggs and a conveyor belt take the egg to the sorting room.
Free range eggs have more beta carotene, collected from the grass the chickens ate. You can tell by how orange the yolks are.

The price of eggs varies depending on the quality, size and the place you buy them, for example in the UK, a dozen small eggs from cagged birds will cost around £1.20, a dozen large free range eggs would be at least £2.40
