My flock is free range and the advantages are that the chickens are generally happier. Thay love to explore and walk around the yard. Belive it or not they even come on my door step and peck against the door intill i come out and give them bread. The chickens live longer free range. up to 14 years. I find there are less fights if they have more room for them self. When they are happier they lay more eggs but it is easier for them to get sick because they can catch different types of lice and fleas ect... I personally think free range is better.
Hope this helps
