firmer yolks?

It is sometimes printed on the bag, other times on a tag that is sewn to the bag (which sometimes comes off and gets thrown away when you open the bag.)



As a long-term strategy, it is usually cheaper to buy a higher-protein chicken feed than to supplement with human-grade things, if you decide that solves the problem. (For example, using a chick starter with oyster shell on the side, instead of a layer feed that has lower protein & higher calcium. The separate oyster shell lets the hens get the extra calcium they need, and the chick starter provides everything else, including higher protein.)

But while you are still trying to figure out what is going on, experimenting with the things you have can make more sense than buying something else just to see if it works. For example, this might be a good time to clean out any meat or fish lurking in the bottom corners of your freezer, because those are good sources of protein and chickens don't care if it's freezer-burned from being stored too long.
its definitely printed on a tag sewn to the bag. but, as an oblivious human usually in a hurry, I always rip & dump. ill check on that next time I get feed though
 
Costco (which I normally like) is terrible with their nutrition info on this:

16% is minimal protein for layers, and the methionine and lysine are on the low end.
