organic layer feed

one is organic...LOL! not quite sure what is being asked...(organic as in no GMOs or pesticides)

Organic doesn't mean NON GMO. Two completely different things.

I believe the 'organic' and 'non-gmo' labels,
about as much as I believe the 'cage-free', 'free range', and 'pastured' labels.
Which is to say..... not so much.

Organic does mean non GMO. Find an organic feed supplier that tests their grain for GMO. Nothing is 100%. Know your supplier!

They are different things, and you can have non-gmo without it being organic. However, you can't have it labeled as certified organic without it being non-gmo.

Certified organic products can't contain GMO ingredients.

I'll step in here too. I don't feed my birds organic, because of the extra cost of the feed. It's a nice idea, but since I don't eat organic foods exclusively myself, and I'm not trying for organic certification for my farm, it seems unnecessary.
Yes, certified organic grains have to be non GMO. That is difficult, and again, I personally don't care.

Agreed. Since there are chemicals everywhere. In the earth, water, the air we breathe, it won't be an occasional Big Mac that takes me out. Lol! Clean eating will not make anyone immortal, or end sickness. I've known folks that died from lung cancer that never smoked. I've known health nuts that died in car crashes. I've known folk that lived on corn products, bacon, booze, and tobacco that lived until their 90s, and never did a stint in the hospital.
