The yolk of a free range egg is normally darker orange in color. Much more tastier than a poor caged bird.

If you buy from a local farmer then they will be able to tell you how their chickens are kept. Eggs from the supermarket come from commercially raised chickens. The USDA has no regulations on what constitutes are free range egg. Therefore a non-free range chicken can have free range eggs. And a commercially raised free range chicken is usually not free range.

free-range" eggs produced by hens that are allowed to roam freely and are not confined to a cage. However, because production is limited, "free-range" eggs are more expensive

Are caged eggs healthier than normal eggs?

NO.They are less healthy than normal eggs.In a factory environment, 4 or more hens are shoved into a cage that isn't even as large as a newspaper. They poop directly onto the floor, upon which they lay their eggs. Many hens die from stress or getting caught in the wires of the cage - they are left to rot inside the cage with the other hens and the eggs they lay. The factory is rarely, if ever, cleaned - usually, the bodies are not even removed before they start to decompose. The hens are fed nutritionally deficient food, as the hens loose their feathers from stress, this food does NOT supply enough protein for the birds. And above it all, the hens that lay the eggs (and the eggs themselves) are exposed to pesticides.In a natural farm environment, the hens have room to walk - they have a house or shed, and some place to go outside, where they can be a chicken. The facilities are MUCH cleaner than factories. They have laying boxes to go and lay in, away from the feces and any possible casualties. Eggs are hand gathered, and hand washed. The birds are ten times less stressed, therefore lay better quality eggs (that taste better too!) They are fed and adaquate diet most usually, and many farmers allow the hens to freerange, which makes the eggs extremely tasty and healthy (gets the birds away from processed feed!).
