barn eggs

Explanation:
Hello,

These links should clear things up.

The eggs are laid from hens who are confined to an inside area with the ability to roam freely (not caged).

Note: "Free-run eggs" is also a decent translation.

Either "barn eggs" or "free-run eggs" is fine. They mean the same.

Free range or free run chicken eggs

Explanation:
From what I've read, it seems to be what they're talking about, although I know there's a difference between free range and free run... free run means they're allowed to run around in a barn, but free range means they have some access to the outdoors.

-> Thank you Denise!

Tony M: Not the same thing, these 2 terms are not synonymous // No, you misunderstand me; I meant that 'free-run' (the correct term) is NOT interchangeable with 'free-range', as your answer appears to suggest

4 hrs

-> Thanks Tony, although I see below that you found that in Canada they seem to be synonymous. I guess it's a question of regional dialect now, or maybe stylistics.

disagree

Cetacea: If you realize there's a difference between the terms, how can you suggest them both as equal?

6 hrs

-> Thanks for your response. I didn't suggest them as equal, but rather as something to check further into. Personally I would have picked "free run", but I don't have access to the entire document.

barn eggs [NFG, just to give URL in support of Icetrance's answer]

Explanation:
It looks as if they are synonymous, at least in CA:

Vancouver Humane Society

Generally speaking, free-run eggs come from hens who are kept indoors in large barns. ... Free-run and other barn eggs will be labelled as "Barn" eggs ...

AWOE: Do you think barn eggs and free run eggs are synonymous? The reason I ask is that I've seen labels for free run eggs, but never barn eggs...would it be regional do you think? Your references are fantastic!// AWOW! That's a good one! :)

55 mins

-> Thanks, AWOW! "Barn eggs" are not usually labelled as such (usually considered "ordinary eggs"). But, if "barn eggs" are labelled on egg cartons in North America, they would most likely be labelled as "free-run" (same in UK and Australia).

agree
