Your options are wretched vs horrific.

Eh, there's also substandard:

conventional - absolutely horrific - stuck in cage
"cage free" - regular horrific - able to walk around, but they're packed wall-to-wall
"free range" - substandard - can go outside and walk around, but still usually overcrowded

The best option is to raise them yourself. But almost nobody does that, so I guess you pick how much you want to spend for the chicken to have a better life.

“Go outside” for free-range is also a tiny little pen that chickens don’t really know how to use.

There’s another option: Pasture-raised, certified humane. They have >100SF of outdoor space per bird, shelter, and eat a mix of insects and supplemental feed.

Aldi sells them for about 75% more than conventional eggs.
