Which is the more expensive, free-range or caged duck?
Free-range ducks are more expensive than caged ducks. It is much easier to raise ducks in cages using intensive farming techniques, which is pretty crummy for the ducks, but great for the farmer's bottom line. Free-range ducks are raised in barns with full climate control. 'Raised in a barn isn't most people's idea of 'free-range,' but it is what it is.
