Most of the Layer pellets I've checked do not contain any chicken. Typically they contain wheat, rice, other grains , minerals (probably to help offset the acidity of the grains) and sometimes soy or canola.
Probably the worst thing about layer pellets is that many contain chemicals to color the egg yolk yellow and probably some genetically modified ingredients, particularly soy & canola.
I saw a documentary program some time ago where some chickens were fed pellets that contained up to 50% chicken manure! Don't know if this is still happening but if it is, I wouldn't want to be eating anything from those chooks.
Your chooks should do OK on layer pellets provided they also have plenty of clean water and vegetable scraps.

What do use to chickens eat?
Chickens are great scavengers and will happily feast on food scraps. Although scraps cannot be a chickens main food as it doesn't contain all the essentials for a chickens diet. Your best bet is to have a supply of layers pellets in the run for the chickens to peck at when they're hungry and when you have scraps add them to the run. I also used to give them a ratio of 1:1 corn and pellets but apparently this is wrong as chickens prefer corn therefore will not eat the pellets and won't receive the vital vitamins they contain. Instead, I was told to use it as a treat for birds to peck at in the afternoon. Grass is a major part of a chickens diet. I read that 30% of a chicken's calories comes from grass. They must eat a lot of grass because it doesn't contain that many calories! A 'true' free-range chicken has the essential animal protein from beetles and other ground dwelling insects. They also get an array of wild plants to try. My chickens are free-range and even take themselves to bed! I hope this helps you!
