“Cage free” is not the same as “free range”. Cage free means the hens are not in cages, are required to have 1-1.25 square feet of space (that’s still pretty small), and they do not have access to the outdoors. Free range, however, means they must have at least 21.8 square feet of space per hen and outdoor access.

My point being, cage free isn’t really all that more humane so this new law isn’t really accomplishing much.
