That's from a different diet. Caged chickens eat whatever they are fed
which tends to be some mixture of grains, soy, maybe some flax seeds to
increase the price. Range chickens eat bugs and weeds and whatever else
they can get plus the feed given to them by the farmer. Some will view
that as more natural and more healthy, others as disgusting. I'll go
with tasting better, slightly.
