I was at wally world the other day and I saw that they carry Eggland's Best chicken feed, the feed claims the give your chicken's eggs the same qualities of their own brand's eggs. ("...an excellent source of B2, B5 and Riboflavin.... four times the Vitamin D, more than double the Omega-3, 10 times the Vitamin E and 25 percent less saturated fat than ordinary eggs".)
Now, they probably mean other store bought eggs when the say 'ordinary eggs" not homegrown ones, which are probably considerably more nutritious than store bought anyhow (not to mention they taste better!)
What about to feed hens you want to breed? More vitamins in an egg means stronger chicks, right?
A hens natural diet + this feed might equal uber eggs? Shinier roosters?
What do you think?

I don't know anything about this brand, but I did buy a bag today at Walmart. They were out of the 40-pound bag of the Vibrant Life, so I ended up buying a 20-pound bag of that Eggland's Best. I just didn't feel like driving into Phoenix and dealing with the traffic.
 
This is the brand I use, when I can afford it. It is pricey, but worth it, my hens eggs shells are noticeably thicker, and the yolks almost as orange as when I run them on fresh nettles each spring, which are super nutritious and loaded with minerals.
(In fact, nettles are so - off the charts - high in nutrients, that I eat the early tender spring nettles myself. Lightly steamed with butter they're tastier and more nutritious than spinach. Just wear gloves when picking...)
I can't always afford Egglands Best feed, so I alternate it with other feeds, but this chicken feed is the only one I've used that visibly improves my girls egg quality, takes about a week or so of feeding it, before the change begins.
