Free range just means that the chickens are allowed to "roam" the farm. The duration and frequency is at the farmer's discretion. A free range chicken could have only 5 minutes of roaming time a week and still be considered free range. (people that think eating free range chicken is more humane take note)
Free range chickens also eat a lot of crap that they shouldn't. Including each other.. yeah chickens tend to.. peck at each other a lot. If they are very crowded, they'll get into a lot of fights. That means feathers and chunks all over the place. Which they then eat. It's pretty gross
