How long on organic feed?

[wfull]

My chicks were raised on natural feed (not organic). Due to allergy issues, I must have organic, soy free eggs. Chicks are now months old. If I switch to organic, soy free feed now, will their eggs be free from soy, pesticides, etc.? These eggs are for personal use only and we will not be selling them as organic eggs.

Hi, and welcome to BYC!

You have quite a bit of time before they lay, so yes, their eggs will be soy/pesticide free.

Thanks so much! Do you know the minimum time I should allow before laying to be assured of no contamination?

Not offhand. I'll see what I can find out.
