Is there such thing as TOO MUCH protein for chickens??

[BDutch]

You'd need to assess their diet and calculate according to what you're feeding - you already know their feed is 20%. Dried BFSL are something like 35-45% protein. An egg is something like 12% protein. And so on.

In general we are talking about dry chicken food when we discuss protein levels. Chicken feed from the shop goes from around 12% - 22% proteins.

It’s not helping to compare the numbers of dry and wet food like this.
Made me wonder about protein level of dried eggs.

From Cookbook Gostorgizdat (1960) indicated that 278 g of egg powder can be placed back on the nutritional value of 1 kg of fresh eggs. So in fact about the same level as the dried larvae.

It's incredibly hard to feed a chicken too much protein so don't worry about it. They'll be fine.

That's great to hear! Thank you!
