Yes. I feed my own flock 20%.* The only downdside is cost. Upside is larger eggs, more frequent eggs, better hen disease resistance, more nutritious eggs, faster, less stessful molts, better feed efficiency. So why do the commercial producers use 16% protein, or AA supplimented 14% protein...
Yes. I advise that you aren't likely to find it. You didn't search wrong, there just aren't many to be found. Its very hard to get the protein levels associated with an "all flock" and the higher Met/Lys levels needed for growing birds while restricting yourself to organic ingredients.

I suspect you will find delivery to be quite expensive right now, for a host of reasons. Good luck!
It may also vary a lot with quantity needed. I tend to buy 600# of feed at a time+/-. Delivery currently would be about $80. Its about a 30 mile round trip for me, and an hour of my time. So...
Florida is, as it turns out, a big state. There are two! feed mills local to me (w/i 50 miles) Harrell Milling Company, and Tucker Milling. To the best of my knowledge, neither supplies feed further south than Ocala, and thus likely still north of you.
If you are in the Orlando area of...
