Organic Layer or 24%?

[blueberry1]

After starting off my new chicks with GMO Free food, I am debating if I want to switch to Organic. I love the fact that both are GMO free but the organic doesn't have the pesticides. Anyways, the brand I want to buy only has 22% protein and when I do my FF it will be over 24% probably. Is it bad for my CX to have 24+%? I already have them down to 12/12 with their FF. I can get them the organic layer feed which is either 17% or 20% but I don't know if they have the right nutrients for the CX. Any advice here?

You need to use a feed formulated for the needs of the fast growing broilers. The layer ration will have the incorrect mineral concentrations and amino acid levels that won't meet the needs of these chicks.

Ok, thank you!! Do you feel 24% is too high of a protein for these birds? After fermenting the 22% it might gain a percent or two, right?

Anyone else have a little advice? I'm scared to ferment the 22% for fear it might be too much protein. Any experiences?

22% feed is fine.
