I agree with
@EggSighted4Life I don't think your chickens and/or eggs can ever be certified organic at this point.
GMO isn't exactly something that comes out of a chicken, so I'm not 100% sure on how to answer.
If your chickens are not laying yet and you continue to feed them a strict organic diet, your eggs will be as healthy and pure as they can be, and essentially your chickens can keep producing organic eggs, they just cannot be marketed/sold as "organic" eggs because there are strict regulations for this labeling and your chickens were not fed in accordance in the early stages of their lives.
I don't have the commitment or the funds to spend for all organic when not even every thing I do is organic. GMO or not, nutrition is what matters. Make sure not to diminish the nutrient level of whatever feed you choose with treats, even the so called healthy ones like lettuce and such. Keep your protein level at or above 16%, I prefer a little higher and read studies showing better hatchability and chick viability which to me says more nutritious eggs than those on the bare minimum. So I go with 20% protein flock raiser feed with oyster shell. To stay that way (higher protein) with organic would require using a starter feed since it's usually starter or layer that come in organic. And that would be OK as long as you provide oyster shell on the side. Also, not all organics are good. Organic poison is still poison for example, in my books.
so glad your have joined our little group here... gmo aside you will find no tastier treat than your own non gmo birds... gmo's are a new scare to me as I am old school but I do know it is non genetically modified if your feeding a food that is there is probably no trace of what they use to eat left in them
