No, "free range" is a classification in Sweden with rules and cages are not allowed in those.

"free range indoors" means large stables, no cages, multiple levels and a maximum of 9 hens per m^2.

"free range indoors and outdoors" is the same as indoors, but with the addition of an outside yard with at least 4m^2 per hen.

Battery cages were banned in 1988, but cages are still allowed. max 13 hens per m^2 and max 16 hens per cage, and there needs to be a nesting area.

So it's not all crap, but the day when we can synthesize food cannot come fast enough.
