I believe the answer is:

free range

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'no charge for shooting at such eggs' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'no charge for shooting at such' is the wordplay.
'no charge' becomes 'free' (synonyms).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'shooting at such' becomes 'range' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'free'+'range'='FREE-RANGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for free range that I've seen before include "without using battery" , "Farming method" .)
