Speaking of a healthy diet,mine have free choice to layer crumble,they also get cracked corn with boss mixed in with it twice a day now thats its getting cold,when I say twice a day its about four cups thrown out to 29 chickens.Is this a healthy diet,they get acv in there water every day and once a week I put olive oil on bread and make sure each bird gets a piece.

The ingredients list you pasted specifically states 'up to 16 weeks'. hence, it is not layer feed, which is what the OP asked about.

I said that is what *I* feed and posted the contents for that food as an example.

The OP's use of the word "natural" does not have any specific meaning which is why I "defined" non-natural as non-organic. What are you saying is untrue? Are you questioning the ~$23 mark? If yes, tell me of any organic food that sells for less than about (which is what the ~ symbol means) $23.

Sheesh.

Sheesh.

The Question the OP had was,

"I'm really wanting real natural eggs with no artificial ingredients. I'm wondering most layer pellets are natural or are they like everything else, full or msg's and artificial stuff"

I am assuming that by the way the OP had asked her question the the OP is wanting a feed that doesn't have, "artificial ingredients" and MSG [Monosodium glutamate (sodium glutamate)].
I would think if the OP wanted, "Organic" they would asked about it.

Now as for a, "natural" feed a lot depends on what you would call, "natural". There are a few brands of feed out there that are what they call, "natural" feeds and are way less than $23.00 a 50 lb bag.
If the OP is going to free range there birds they can get away with feeding a all grain pigeon feed that is a round a 16 - 21 percent protein and there is no, "artificial ingredients" in it.

The word "Natural" in poultry feed is a term that has no real true definition.
Most feed Mfg. that call there poultry feed, "natural" wont have animal products in it. To me and others that isn't a, "natural" feed for chickens (a chicken is a Omnivore and should have animal protein and fat in there diet we offer them.)
Others believe that chickens should have a souse of, "land animal" protein and fat (beef, pork, or poultry) in there diet we offer them and not just a, "sea animal" protein and fat as in Fish and Crab.

I think people are ATTEMPTING to inform anybody who dosent know that if its not organic, it is almost completely made of un-natural ingredients...non organic or "conventional" corn, soy, etc are not the type of corn plants most people think of, these are genetically modified organisms which have ONLY been fed chemicals and have been sprayed with industrial strength round up several times. (period)

"all natural" was a phrase started by companies who sell these products as a means of deception and there is NO legal guidlines to the use of the words "all natural" I could sell you an entire 50lb bag of MSG and steroids and label it "all natural"

Im still not sure why people are so dead set on thinking that conventional food isnt FULL of poison, unfortunately most of the board of directors of FDA and USDA are also CEOs of a large industrial seed/fertilizer/pesticide megolith named monsanto, quite a conflict of interest! So you literally have the same guys who make and patent seeds, also making the pesticide and also in charge of telling all of us what is healthy in food or not....

ALSO if just one of thier seeds grows and pollinates your garden or even one plant, you could be held liable for patent infringment and lose your farm, its happening all over america.
