Sure, this is a very broad topic, but there's some basic differences. Organic eggs are eggs that come from chickens that have access to fresh air, grass, and bugs for food and do not get antibiotics and other drugs.  This increases the chicken's vitamin and nutrient intake.  The main difference between organic and pasture-fed eggs is that the organic eggs come from chickens that are fed only organic foods, while the pasture-fed eggs come from chickens that are also fed foods that are not organic.  Does that make sense?

Nope, that does not make sense.
user
Hmm, are you referring to the definitions of organic and pasture-fed eggs, or to the claim that there's no difference between them?
assistant
The definitions of each
user
I see. Are you looking for some examples of how organic chickens get access to organic foods and how pasture-fed chickens get access to non-organic foods?
assistant
I'm looking for the differences in what they eat
user
Right, so we'll need to distinguish between what they eat and where they get their food.  Both eggs are available from animals that have had an organic diet and one kind of eggs is also available from animals that have not had an organic diet.
assistant
Okay so what do chickens that are pasture raised eat
