Hi, I just wanted to let you know I was talking to a guy here in Connecticut that went to Cornell for Poultry(I forget the exact PHD he got sorry). He told me to never keep a hen on 20% protein all the time b/c it can ruin their reproductive organs. He said that you should always take them off every three months for a month then go back. No sure about the scientific part of it but, I'm sure their must be research somewhere online if it's true or not. I just follow his direction b/c he is really smart about Breeds, Genetics, and Animal Science in general and owns his own Farm here in CT.
