What brand feed is best for Organic? Also what is the advantage to corn and soy free??

The "best" organic feed is usually based upon what is available locally.

The corn and soy free topics have been debated ad nausum here, do a quick search to find all the threads.

Corn = filler, just like with human food. Avoid it if possible - you and your chickens.

To see which is best, look at the ingredients and the % contents - they will all have a listing- usually on a slip attached ot the bag.

Thanks so much. I was able to find Modesto Milling organic feed locally. They have a corn and soy free feed.

BULL!!!

Corn is NOT filler, it is a valuable source of carbohydrates in livestock rations, especially monogastric diets.

Corn is still just a filler if you like it or not!

Believe what you want, but corn is NOT a filler. As I stated in my other post corn is a highly digestible source of carbohydrates.
