Not talking about chicken feed because you don't know whats really in that stuff. What would you feed them if you wanted to be sure there was no chemicals?
NO clue what category to put this in. lol

Corn, as well as combination of different seeds. Also you can cut finely greens such as salad, spinach and feed them with the grains. Some like tomatoes and for calcium you can break some egg shells very finely and include them in the mix.

Depends on what you mean by organic. Some companies say that their products are organic, and then their are products that are labeled USDA organic.
What it means for something to be USDA organic sometimes depends on what regulations the USDA feels like using at the time (I'm not biased...). In order for eggs to be considered organic, they must come from organic chickens. An organic chicken has to have access to the outdoors and bedding. They are not allowed to be injected with antibiotics (No chickens, organic or not, are allowed to be injected with growth hormones). Debeaking is allowed. They must be fed 100% organic feed. Organic feed cannot contain bioengineered ingredients.
Chickens need grains, vegetation, protein, minerals, and something to keep egg shells hard (oyster shells are often used). Sources of these nutrients can include corn, soy, grass, and kelp.

Generally organic eggs referrs to eggs from chickens that have not been treated with antibiotics and have been fed a diet of certified organic feed.

Try to look for feed that specifically says it was produced organically. Or if you have the space, grow your own grains.
Here's a website that lists several producers of organic feed:

Organic food.
Corn & seeds basicly and make sure that anything else you feed them it's organic too, like the leftovers of your food.

You must feed it organic grains, thus producing an organic egg....
