I;m simply informing you that it doesn't.  Organic is a designation that refers to agricultural inputs, not the status of the hens living accomodations.  A battery farmed hen on NOP approved feed lays organic eggs.  A battery farmed hen on NOP approved feed where the house doors are open lays organic, free range eggs.

Not saying that whomever you get your eggs from doesn;t run an organic free range operation that would in some way strike you as such...simply that neither label makes that claim in a legally explicit manner, and so cannot be trusted to be so for having the labels.  Producers market themselves as organic and free range for having met legal guidelines, not the consumers expectations thereof.

Did you read the wiki I linked?

I have other articles, if you don't like wikipedia. Organic eggs laying hens must have regular access to the outdoors in order for their eggs to be labeled as organic.
Organic chickens used for meat, I agree with you, do not have to have that to keep their organic label.  Same with free range, that just means they get bigger cages, lol.

Legal guidelines for Organic eggs 

 According to the United States Department of Agriculture, organic means that the laying hens must have access to the outdoors and cannot be raised in cages

It doesn't just say no cages, it says must have access o the outdoors.  If you go right to the DoA's site, is says the same thing.
