Confusing isn't it. Lets get this cleared up for you.
Certified Organic eggs are eggs from hens who are fed a diet of organic foods. Grains that have not been grown with chemicals and the hens are not treated with medications. "Organic eggs" does not always mean the hens are free range or even free run. Organic eggs can come from chickens kept in cages all their life. They are just not fed with foods that have insecticide or chemical fertilizers applied while growing.
Free range eggs. These eggs are collected from hens who have the run of the yard and can forage outside in fields and bushes. Free range means exactly that, the hens are free to go where they wish, free range hens sleep in a chicken coop at night safe from predators but are allowed out during the day to supplement their food with whatever they can find. Not all free range eggs are "organic" The free range hens can be fed with medicated grains, treated with health preventative medicines and can also eat greenery treated with chemical fertilizers, which makes them NON organic.
Free run eggs. Sounds a bit like free range but there is a big difference. Free run eggs are from chickens who are not kept in cages but who are kept in large barns. These hens are allowed to roam around the interior of the barn but do not have access to fresh air, fresh food and greenery.

What is the difference between organic and medicated chick feed?
Organic feed can have no additives and should be made from ingredients that have not been grown with artificial fertilizers or any sort of pesticide. Medicated feed has had certain preventative medication added to the feed to keep the chicks or hens healthy. This medication is usually a general all purpose broad spectrum antibiotic. Not all un-medicated feed is truly "organic" and if this is important to you, you must make inquiries as to the source of the ingredients. True organic feed will be certified as organic, not just labeled "organic"
