Flock Raiser is cheaper for you than layer pellets? Not the case here.
If you are concerned about excess calcium for the roosters - you probably don't need to be. Ministry of Agriculture, Ontario: "It is also interesting to realize that most roosters today are fed high-calcium breeder diets, which provide 4-6x their calcium needs, yet kidney dysfunction is quite rare in these birds."
The difference for chicks is probably that they are still growing and, therefore, have problems with a calcium imbalance.
Nothing wrong with layer feed for your roos, I'd say.
