King feed says to add calcium free choice to their layer, so It must be lower in calcium.
Aveca posted a rather long post about soy and one of the things that caught my eye was it causing people to hatch too many roos. phytoestrogen and etc. Mine get Sea kelp along with the good feed and BOB. I also give them something green each day.
Interesting. The King natural layer pellets are lower in calcium than the organic layer pellets. Here are the percents & ingredients from their product tags:
