I can’t find a single feed in the uk that is organic and/or even soy free that has more than 15 protein it seems even non organic is only 15 the layers get 18 but I don’t want the calcium in the mix as have cocks I want all flock but can’t find it
I’ve even checked goose n duck feeds any uk peeps got one ?

I haven't found such a feed either.
This is about as good as it gets in the UK.

WIthout knowing the ratios and a good idea of their average nutritional assays, I can't guess at the final nutrition numbers, sorry.

and the USA dioesn't have gold a lot of things - we just happen to luck out in the disclosures on feed labels compared to most of the world - not that most people read them, but at least the information is available.

and because I can't guess at final numbers, I'm going to remain without opinion as to which of the above two is the better feed.

Thanks for the reply buddy, I have contacted one of the manufacturers and am waiting a reply on the ingredients,
Wasn’t really a comparison of the two but said that this is all we seem to find and they seem short on a lot of ingredients yours use so I’d assume these are like the Justin Rhodes diet and are to complement the pasture raised chickens ,

I can’t seem to find anything solid enough to say if any of these will supply my birds adequately, and after years ago talking with you trying to make my feed you found deficiency’s that’s seem impossible to correct ?
I don’t want to cause problems for them buying a feed that won’t supply them any nutrition?
I have ran out of feed atm and have given them grain mixes I need to order or make something soon for them really lol
