I would personally try and get to 14 percent maximum?

I would cut the meat bird feed entirely. The layer feed has calcium but it’s probably okay for the few days you have left. If you can find a starter that is lower protein than your meat bird feed use that instead of the layer.

Then, purchase a bag of ROLLED OATS from your feed store and go to this link.

Protein calculator

You enter the amounts of your feed.

You put the size of the bag of your chicken food plus it’s protein percentage. Then, you enter the goal percentage (14) as well as the protein that is in the rolled oats. (Probably 9 to 11). The calculator will tell you how many pounds of rolled oats to add to your feed to achieve the desired protein level.

We are getting Cracked oats, as it takes longer to digest.
