Can experts tell me if this is a good feed?

[My Three Chicks]

A nearby farm creates their own chicken layer feed. I've been feeding my 6 girls Scratch & Peck 16% layer mash (no soy/corn feed), but was interested in trying this one.
Can those of you all with knowledge on feed ingredients and nutritional value tell me if this is a good feed pls?

@U_Stormcrow can you advise?

It says "natural" but the ingredients are full of funny chemical things. I wouldn't eat it so I also wouldn't feed it to my animals. My rule is, if I don't feel like eating it, none of my animals are gonna eat it.
I even ate cat food before deciding if it was good enough to give it to my cat.

funny chemical things.

Care to point those out? Looks mostly like vitamin/mineral mix.

Otherwise, it looks good for a layer formula. Though the crease makes it hard to read and say for sure.

Protein is a bit lower than I'd like, but it looks basically fine. It wouldn't be my first choice, but it'll do

Hello I think @Altairsky is speaking of synthetic ingredients being the funny chemical things that this product ingredients is full of. Synthetics do not logically align with a product named "Natural Layer Ration".

Hello This feed is the farthest thing away from being what the name suggests "Natural Layer Ration". One thing I think about when I see ingredients lists is that the fewer ingredients the better. This feed is full of sythetic ingredients and I don't know what their definition of "Natural" is, but this feed is not "Natural".

Hello Is 17% protein too low for chickens? You say you would like more protein, may I ask why? Also, when you say it wouldn't be your first choice, can you tell me why?

Everything after "alfalfa meal" is either a vitamin, mineral, or probiotic.
All feeds that I've seen labels of use added vitamins and minerals. Yes, even organic feeds!
If you don't understand a feed label, please do not jump to "it's bad", because you could be giving very bad advice.

OP, like many members, I prefer to feed a 20% protein All Flock / Grower feed for feather health. But it's your decision whether that's a priority for you.

Hello They are mostly synthetic, too. Synthetic is not "NATURAL"....Just saying.
