They can stay on 20% the rest of their lives, if it's not too expensive for you.
The only reason to feed lower protein rations is they are more affordable. Part Time Free Ranging and Pasture Raised Chickens eat 30+% Protein, during the warm months, with all the Bugs and Critters they catch. Not to mention mid to high protein, 15 to 30+%, Greens like grass, Clover, Legumes, Seeds and Flowers.
These birds have no health issues other than, Thick Beautiful Plumage and Large Thick Shelled Eggs with Deep Orange Yolks.
Just remember to add a free choice Calcium source, Oyster Shell, when they start Laying...JJ
