Cage-free eggs are a term for eggs produced by hens that are not kept in cages. The vast majority of eggs used in the US and most other countries are “caged” in large farms, which typically include tens of thousands of hens packed into a single building. Often, these hens are unable to stretch their wings or move around freely, and live in cages where they can’t even spread their wings and fly if they wanted to.  They also can’t see the sky, and most can’t even see each other.

So the selling point for cage-free eggs is that they come from hens that are humanely treated?
