Sharing my mistakes, so you need not repeat them. Aart, I believe, alerted me to it, roughly July/August two years ago, when shelves were empty and I was hoping to use it as alternative to flockraiser
additionally, Nutrena's "Feather Fixer" is a higher protein (18%) "Layer" Formulation. It already contains adequate calcium (3.5%+/-) for most production layers, and too much for everything not actively producing like a production layer.
and if that wasn't bad enough, its got way too much fiber, and what little protein it does have has the wrong amino acid profile. Chances are very high that its grossly lacking in the needed minerals and vitamins as well.

Easy for us who have been in this no man's...

We are very fond of facts here. Reasonable conclusions. Plausible speculation. Please take a moment to consider whether the "fact" you are about to post is easily demonstrated to be completely false by a few second's search on the internet. The...
IT WAS PROVEN?
Seriously, WHERE did you hear that??? Suggest you ignore all other "proven" claims from that source.
Purina Mills (the maker of livestock feed) has been held by Land O Lakes company since about 2001. That hasn't changed.
Cal-Maine, the nation's largest egg producer, is...
