Hog feed for eggs?

[TinyChickin]

I've heard that giving your hens hog feed is better for egg production. Is this true? Has anyone tried it?

I don't know hog nutrition but I'm going to say no, as long as your chicken feed is a good proper poultry feed. If your poultry feed is crud, then maybe.

It also depends on what nutrition recommendations you want to follow, are you going based on the absolute minimums that it takes to get a hen to pump out eggs for 18 month to 2 years like a commercial farm, or are you trying to target a long healthy life for your hens, or are you trying to produce the best possible hatching eggs that have everything a growing chick needs?

You will get a lot of opinions here, my opinion is that commercial feeds are too low in fat and many of the vitamins to provide optimal nutrition for hens.
