message: I tagged the article with  because in the current revision  one of the sentence states:
:However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has not instituted a legal standard on what free range eggs actually mean, thus allowing egg producers to freely label, in theory, any egg as free range eggs.
This obviously and naturally begs for adding information about legal standards for free-range eggs in other countries/nations etc. 131.107.0.81 01:12, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I added a header and adjusted the wording a bit regarding nutrition claims for free-range vs conventional eggs. The references for making health claims are pretty poor quality but they are better than nothing for now...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iconia (talk • contribs) 16:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello, I am about to remove the sentence in the lead paragraph saying that in Australia strict regulations define what are free range eggs - on 13 June 2008 Barrylb added a citation needed tag saying 'please cite the Australian regulations' - this hasn't been done, and as far I can discern from credible sources - the ABC's Landline program, and the RSPCA - it is completely untrue to say there are strict regulations in Australia - it would appear that whilst there may be definitions of what constitutes adequate space for battery-laid egg chickens (i.e. not free range), i) they are state-by-state, not federal laws, ii) which are reportedly regularly flouted and, most importantly iii) 'free-range' is not adequately defined in any legislation: Landline says "The free-range industry in Australia is self-regulated and there is no compulsory national accreditation system", and that, as at 2006, only two free-range producers in Australia were accredited by the RSPCA. The wikipedia editor who entered this sentence has had more than adequate time to cite a reference, so I will delete it. Thanks, SeventhHell (talk) 06:35, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

message: It looks like a photo of barn hens with the lights on. Is it correct? 84.13.29.241 (talk) 22:33, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Completely agree. The photo appears to be an illustration of barn egg production. While 'free range' production isn't as idyllic as many consumers think, this plant couldn't be so described under EU rules (it appears to be very heavily stocked even for the barn egg rules.) Possibly the pic is of a US 'free range' plant, as the term is pretty much meaningless there. In any case clarification is needed. --Ef80 (talk) 12:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
