Below are some helpful definitions from WebMD regarding egg production.


Cage-free eggs - from birds that are not raised in cages, but in floor systems usually in an open barn.
Free-range eggs - laid from hens that have the opportunity to go outside.
Organic eggs - laid from hens that may be kept in any kind of caging system, but generally are cage free. They eat an organic feed and don’t receive vaccines or antibiotics.
