Fermented organic broiler grower ok as chick layer supplement?

[figit]

Howdy folks! I've got about 120lbs of leftover 20% soy-free organic broiler feed from our last run of CX that I'd love to offer our layer chicks which are arriving today or tomorrow. I wanted to check with y'all to confirm they'd thrive and I'm not introducing anything they can't handle too early.

To confirm, I'd ferment this and offer it in addition to dry chick crumble and grit that we already have planned for them.

Here are the ingredients on the broiler mix:

240 ORGANIC SOY PR FREE BROILER GROWER 20% - ORGANIC PEAS, ORGANIC SUNFLOWER MEAL, ORGANIC BARLEY, ORGANIC CORN, ORGANIC FLAXSEED MEAL, POULTRY PRO PLUS ccm, CA CAR #80 cis, EUREKA, REDMOND SALT po

What do y'all think? Thanks a ton in advance!

no. don't feed them that. it is meant to grow chickens REALLY fast and make them REALLY fat. NOT what you want to do to layer chicks.

Ok, thanks a ton for the heads up! I'll save it till our next batch of CX.

Thanks again @chickachicka12345!

What we'd need is the nutrition panel, not ingredients list.

Assuming it doesn't have unusually high fat % or some other % that seem oddly skewed I don't see why it can't be used. Layer chicks don't eat nonstop like broiler chicks.

The number of birds would be helpful to know as well.
