We have free range hens (chicken) who are free to wander anywhere they please within their 'range' which usually means a large wire pen or the farm yard.
Battery hens live their entire lives in cages, in sheds. Densely packed and auto fed, cleaned and the eggs collected en mass, a battery of hens. Usually killed at about 18 Months, I understand.
