Its ok sense i have a bowl of oyster shells free choice for 8 hens and a rooster 'isn't that correct.

Yes.

What do you mean by they gave you?
Does that mean you bought the wrong thing?

I had family members pickup the curbside order for me. When they came home i seen that the bag said starter grower 18 protein. When I logged into my order status it says i ordered layer 16% protein Nutrena NatureWise

They'll be fine.

I think I would call them and return it, myself. But, I'm a stickler for getting what I paid for.

Not a problem but I'm curious, what what the price of the 16% vs the 18%? I feed my girls Flock Raiser 20% after reading an article about egg laying & higher protein. There has been times TSC here is out but have the 18% NatureWise. FR has gotten very popular here so was wondering about the NW 18%

YMMV, but the $1.50 savings on Nutrena starter is not worth the reduced protein and AA profile vs FR. I would not hesitate using it as a backup feed tho. Their all flock (20%) may interest you but it is only 40# and I've only seen it in pellets.
