There is a label on the chicken feed bag and this is what it says.
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS:
Crude Protein......Min.16.0 %
Lysine......Min 0.7 %
Methionine..........Min. 0.3 %
Crude Fat...........Min. 2.5 %
Crude fiber...... Max. 8.0 %
Calcium...Min. 3.3 % Max. 3.8 %
Phosphorus..... Min. 0.45 %
Salt.....Min. 0.25 % Max. 0.65 %
Sodium... Min. .15 % Max. 0.23 %

There are Ingredients on the side but its a big list!
 
Typical layer feed. As I said, Easter Eggers produce better on a higher protein feed. That 16% protein content is the bare minimum, and I've found they need a bit more protein to be reliable layers.

The Chantecler are the only breed of chicken that was ever developed in Canada overall the best dual purpose bird you can get and are polar bears when it comes to cold (they maybe difficult to acquire in your location)..

Characteristics

The Chantecler is a large chicken that lays respectably well and is a good meat producer. Roosters weigh around 9 pounds (3.9 kilos), and hens are 6.5-7.5 pounds (3-3.4 kilos).The breed possess yellow skin and beaks, and lay brown eggs. With plumage that lies tight against the body but has a good deal of fluff, and an exceptionally small cushion comb and wattles, the Chantecler is one of the most cold hardy chickens. They are gentle birds amenable to taming, but can be temperamental in confinement. specifically to adapt to our harsh winters. .[2

There beautiful chickens!
 
The only problem with RIRs are, they are actually very aggressive sometimes. People say great beginner birds, but they literally seem to be the opposite and scare people away from chickens.Good layers.

I like Red and Black sexlinks.And New Hampshire Reds.
