Wtat are the advantages of free range chicken?
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

My hens yolks get orange in the fall when they eat large amounts of squash in the garden. Eggs produced on a commercial farm often add pigmenting carotenoids to the feed because consumers equate dark yellow yolks with quality eggs.
