Cage-free, on eggs, means the hens were not kept in the small battery cages that hold birds almost still. They can walk around. That is all the label promises.

on eggs在蛋盒上 Cage-free非籠飼 means意思是 the hens母雞 were not kept in沒有被關在 that hold birds almost still讓鳥幾乎不能動的 the small battery cages那種小籠子裡。They他們 can walk around可以走動。That那 is就是 all the label promises標籤保證的全部。

Though actually it does not mean they went outside — that is free-range — and it does not mean organic, and it does not by itself mean a gentle farm. Cage-free hens are often packed into large indoor barns.

Though actually不過其實 it does not mean它不代表 they went outside雞有到戶外過 — that is free-range那是free-range放牧的意思 — and it does not mean也不代表 organic有機，and it does not by itself mean單靠這個字也不代表 a gentle farm是個溫和友善的農場。Cage-free hens非籠飼的母雞 are often packed into常常被塞進 large indoor barns大型室內畜舍裡。

The word comes out of animal-welfare argument and then stuck on cartons; you will sometimes hear it about other farmed animals, but eggs are where students meet it. It is marketing-and-shopping English, mildly official-sounding, not poetic.

The word這個字 comes out of源自 animal-welfare argument動物福利的爭論 and then後來 stuck on cartons被貼到蛋盒上；you will sometimes hear it你有時候也會聽到它用 about other farmed animals在其他養殖動物身上，but但 eggs are where蛋是 students meet it學生最常遇到它的地方。It它 is是 marketing-and-shopping English行銷購物用語，mildly official-sounding聽起來有點正式，not poetic不是詩意的字。
