I don't have breeders so I don't know exactly what some would consider a good ration but I do know that 18-22% is what a lot of people feed though I don't know what kinds of things are in the mix for nutrients I just know the protein, I would add nutrena's feather fixer, I'm not here just to promote the brand and I don't use it except in the fall but it helps get them going good again after the molt, and there is some added stuff that isn't in the regular layer feed I get. Sumatras aren't that fluffy so it shouldn't be the fluff causing the trouble.

yep no problem, if you simply want to boost protein to see if that will work you can add soybean meal to their ration, it is something like 48% protein I can't remember the correct conversion to get proper % in different feeds but that helps with protein.
Could you post pictures?Crud. I just now found out not all Sumatra's are black. I ordered them for my daughter from My Pet Chicken. The older they get (they're only 8 days) the more yellow/white they seem to be getting. Any hope of them turning black once they start the ugly stage?
Could you post pictures?

no once they have their color they don't usually change their color much it might be lighter or darker but it won't go from white to black.
