That's definitely the case in young waterfowl. Not well studied in chickens. By and large, they are interested in maximizing production whole minimizing costs - so less protein and even less orotein plus synthetic amino acids.

Oh, I was responding to OP with that, not you! I suspect I might know where you are getting some of your info from. I throw 24% around all the time - because I have ducks. and diets over 24% crude protein, particularly in very young ducks, are associated with higher incidence of "angel wing"...

How do you want to go about this? Do you want to look at amino acid levels (for which raw protein % served as an analog until relatively recently), and chek if your feed provides the recommended levels of Methionine and Lysine for your birds, based on modern science? Here's a metastudy of...

my sources say high protein for short amount of times and long term is bad if you truly read it and im just saying my group of 25 birds are happy heathy and lay eggs good And I'm saying the research suggests that your birds are sub optimum - healthy, yes, but never living up to their genetic...

With respect, Chicks in VA, you are mistaken. and your source says
