Yuck, but good to know, thank you!!!Laying hens need a minimum of 16 % protein, but I prefer having everyone on Flock Raiser, 20% protein. It cuts down on feather-picking, is good for chicks and roosters who don't need the extra calcium in layer feed (which can harm kidneys,) and would help chickens that need to regrow feathers. Scrambled eggs and meat scraps are great treats for extra protein. Some people like to feed liver for all of the vitamins and protein.
