What would be a good feed for my Cornish x rocks and mammoth bronze turkeys?

post #1 of 5

This is my first time raising poultry and I got 4 Cornish x and 2 turkeys. When I got them from the local agway they gave me a bag of game bird starter 28% protein. They are now about a week old and the feed is almost gone! I don't know what kind of feed to get next. Should I get the same? Or a different one? Help. 🐤🐔

You can just give them all the game starter. It's a bit high in protien for the meaties but it won't hurt them one bit. Might even grow faster for you on that stuff.

Love those Orps!

I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as mine don't!

Till the meat birds are harvested. I have no experience with turkeys so I don't know what they need when they are grown, but I do know that all will be well until that 6-8th week or whenever you harvest the meaties.
