They just released a new chicken feed at the milling company the family buys our goat feed from. It's an hour away normally, but only about 20 minutes away from my husband's work, so when they got rained out yesterday, I asked him to swing by and pick me up a bag. It wouldn't meet your needs if you were looking for non-soy, non-GMO, organic, etc., but otherwise I'm intrigued by it.

Haven't opened it yet, but I spoke to the nutritionist this week by email about it and he says it is a mash. It's 18% protein, 5% fat. I took a photo of the tag, but it was sewn through, so I didn't catch all the other values. Fiber looks to be 4% max. Calcium is 1.75% min, 2.25% max.

Ingredients: Ground Corn, Steam Flaked Corn, Expeller Soybean Meal, Calcium Carbonate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Flaxseed Oil, Coconut Oil, Soybean Oil, Aniseed, Cassia, Cayenne Pepper, Garlic, Ginger, Horseradish, Juniper, Choline Chrloride, Manganese Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Ribofalvin Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Sodium Selenite, Niacin Bisulfite, Biotin, Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide, Pyroxidine Hydrocholoride, Thiamine Mononitrate.
 
If your hens are laying, I would free choice oyster shell with this feed.

They're just 11 weeks old now, so no layers. I do have a rooster, too, so I wanted a formula that could work for them all (and be supplemented later with oyster shells).
