Free range chickens mean just that, they run free on the farm where ever they please. They eat greens, worms, and bugs as the base of there diet. I have never met a free run chicken however I would think free range ones are happier.

This is what life is like for many of the chickens that lay the probably billons of eggs that are consumed daily. I can't say they are abused or mistreated because I have never been to one of these facilities, however putting anything in a cage it's whole life for our benefit is sick if you ask me. Please source out happy chickens...if you care or rise your own it's very satisfying.
