ah.... I would feed that for most of the year, and switch to something with higher protein at molt and when the chicks are little.

I called and spoke to them over the phone and that’s what she told me it was. My husband is going later today to pick it up so I’ll be checking before he purchase it.It is unusual for an All Flock or grower feed to be 16% protein (though I have seen it in organic feeds). Are you sure the 16% isn't layer feed (4% calcium)?
The only All Flock feeds I've seen from various mills was either 18% or 20% crude protein.
If, for some reason you want to temporarily boost protein, you can do so with fish or meat a couple days a week. Or even crickets or meal worms. Adult crickets are about 50% protein as is most meat and fish. So it doesn't take much but the big advantage to animal protein is that it is high in the essential amino acids that are usually missing in vegetative sources.
Chickens are omnivores, not vegans.
