sigh……try researching WTF “organic” MEANS,eh? If a substance isn’t “organic”,it’s NOT a feed!!!! Plastic isn’t organic…..gravel isn’t…..nor aluminum,asbestos…
Organically GROWN is just a scam,perpetrated on the paranoid & gullible & doesn’t mean SQUAT in any livestock feed

Sisyphus I think misses the point of your question, but s/he’s right that the term “organic” can lead to confusion as chemically all feed is “organic material”, but not all feed is “organically grown”, but anyway…
The only reason to feed a chicken organically grown feed is if you are a certified organic farm and need to in order to maintain your certification. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense. The cost of organic feed is way too high to be feasible for a conventional producers to use.
As far as the chicken is concerned? There’s no difference. The only issue is how you’re marketing the eggs/broilers.

Ok they are both wrong. “Organic” is NOT a scam at all. If you feed organic feed, your eggs, & meat will taste different, and better. You can even see a difference in their products. Same goes will all livestock. When fed organic their eggs, meat, and milk will be tastier, more colorful, and healthier for consumers.
