though this isnt as free as a chicken could be, this is a hell of a lot better than a battery farm. the hens themselves look alot healthier and more at ease. fresh air and daylight would be good, but given the state of modern chicken farming, this at least shows some progress. good on the farmer for not taking the battery road
im gutted the place o work in the slats arent as far out as that and they have more ground to walk on and its hard work picking up all the eggs off the floor
I say this is very humane! They are not over crowded standing in there own feces, or getting trapped in wire. Not every body can keep flocks on real pasture. I have 1 acre and can only let mine out a couple hours every day!
Dear friends greetings. Have you read: The Lord Christ Jesus Was A Vegan and The Christian Vegan Revised Psalms both books by Saba? If not we suggest you do. All farm animals should not be exploited, nor killed for food but loved, respected and kept alive. Human beings should not breed animals either but serve Christ in them. Please go Christian Vegan for the sake of God's lasting Kingdom.
Per Wikipedia: Legal standards defining "free range" can be different or even non-existent depending on the country. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires only that the bird spends part of its time outside, and allows egg producers to freely label these eggs as free-range.
THIS IS WHERE YOUR EGGS ARE COMING FROM WHEN YOU BUY "FREE-RANGE." BE SURE YOUR EGGS SAY "ORGANIC" AND "FREE-RANGE" TO ENSURE YOUR EGGS COME FROM A GOOD ENVIRONMENT!!
You see there feathers? There missing and some are half grown in. Hens will peck and rip out there feathers and other hens feathers when there too cramped up. I have a flock and I know this from experience. Hens need to have there space, and they need to be aloud to scratch and look for there own sustenance. My hens are truly free range and if you've ever had a real free range egg, you will taste the difference between it and your fake free range.
We run an organic egg farm in Lismore NSW and have 6000 hens over 70HA ; whic is 200 hens in each shelter around our farm; on pasture ; no debeaking- now that is free range . This video is a caged egg producer taking hens out of cages, standing on steel and pile sof their own crap and calling it free range. Its not free range. Bu then these egg producers will call it 'cage free' "free to roam ' or anything else. 'free' - (anything to sell). The reality is 'not caged ' -but still in prison.
I dont like this ''free range egg farm'' chickens trapped in a large cage walking on metal
I buy my eggs from a free range farm where chickens can go outside and do stuff on the grass and where are trees If you think about it, it is not that hard to provide chickens with outside access needs just little bit more love and land
THIS IS NOT FREE RANGING FOR CHICKENS THIS IS CALLED PRISON , LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED TO LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF FREE RANGING. FREE RANGE IS WHEN THEY GET TO GO OUT SIDE AND DO WHAT NORMAL CHICKENS DO. THIS IS DONE BECUZ IT MAKES THINGS EASIER ON YOU. HERE ON OUR FARM WE DO THINGS THE OLD WAY. WHERE YOU LET YOUR CHICKENS OUT TO DIG AND EAT BUGS AND SO ON, TO DO THINGS NATURAL . WE COLLECT EGGS FROM NESTING BOXES BY HAND. YOU MUST OF CLEANED YOUR BIG COOP RIGHT BEFORE THE TAPPING OF THE VIDEO.
Are those free range? oh my gosh, I have being paying so much for for eggs from " free range chickens" to find out that they don't have access to the out side to eat grass. what does free range means? is free range a large cage?
@alejonsu I would gladly pay more for eggs from a place like that vs. hens in battery cages (you don't have to watch many videos to see why).
Aside from not being able to eat bugs, I don't know that the chickens would care about this vs. being outside. They certainly don't get cold, rainy or have any pressure from predators.
Some people need to learn the difference between free range and pastured.
All the chickens look nice and healthy, and their enviorment looks clean. They are provided with nesting boxes. This is really good condition, it would be nice if they could get fresh air too, but this is wonderful :D

It shoud not be legal to call chickens that never get to see the sun, scratch the grass, or even step outside...free range!

By definition it is a Free Run operation, which is different than Free Range.
The chickens in this video have Free Run of the barn, but don't go outside from what is shown.
