28% protein for Bantam chicks

That's too high. Feeding such high amounts of protein as a starter for baby chickens can have long term consequences in skeletal and organ development and set up health issues that can shorten and complicate the lives of your chicks. It's advised to limit the protein fed to baby chickens to no more than 20%.

Thank you for your response, when you say advised, is this from a study or breeder recommendations? I want to feed what is best for the chicks and our future flock and have questioned the advice of our local farm feed store on 28% protein for baby chickens.
