Can't really call them "free range" any more if they're not... you know... free... on the range.

But you'll be glad of it when you read about avian flu.

“free range” is a vague term to begin with. Most farms use this phrase to look pleasing to the customer who wants to buy ethically, but my free range is different to your free range, and is different to his free range etc. The HFAC defines free range as being “2 sq. ft per bird”. So each bird gets 2.1 square feet of ‘free range’. The industry is absolutely fucked.
