Has anyone used this food? I was going to buy it for my chickens as it seems to be the only organic option in Ontario.

But which should I use? the layer feed (and which of the two?) or the grower feed?
Chicken grower 18%, A high protein diet with a medium coarse texture for growing poultry until they are
ready for market. Contains corn, roasted soybeans, barley, wheat, flax meal,
minerals and oats.
Layer Mash, 16.5% or 18% For egg production or maintenance of adult birds (geese, ducks, chickens, turkeys);
very coarse with roughly broken kernels. Contains corn, roasted soybeans, barley,
wheat, flax meal, oats, minerals and alfalfa. The 16.5% protein will suffice for most
mixed farms. Some farmers start the laying cycle at 20 weeks with 18% protein and
then convert to 16.5% protein at about 30-35 weeks.
Now I am getting 2 Polish pullets 3 months old and 2 Rhode Island Red crosses that are already laying. My Polish rooster has to stay at the farm due to crowing and the city's noise by-law.
The girls will also get kitchen scraps and some free range time, but only under supervision on the weekends.
Thanks for any help.
