To be considered free range eggs, the laying hens must have meaningful and regular access to an outdoor range during daylight hours (for at least eight hours a day), and be free to roam and forage outside. Free range farms can have a maximum outdoor stocking density of 10,000 hens per hectare, and free range eggs must clearly state the farming density on the packaging.
