Feeding guinea keets

[OutInTheStiks]

We bought ten guinea keets today. I've been doing some research and have found that guinea keets should have a high protein feed but can eat medicated chick crumbles. What do YOU feed your keets?

The answer is maybe but be sure they have grit available.

I recommend you start your own thread and continue to ask your questions in it. There is no point in digging up old threads whose participants have not been on BYC in years.

I think we see these because BYCs now automatically asks if you want to add your question to suggested previous threads… Not sure why they changed the settings to ask this?

I don't seem to have the issues with cocci so I start mine on 26% game bird.

It is always possible to add Corrid or Amprol to their feed or waterers if cocci is an issue.

They can eat the chick feed but will grow faster on the higher 26-30% I feed purina game bird startna to my baby guineas, turkeys and pheasants, it is 30%.

I cant find anything for gamebirds with a higher protien and reasonable priced so mine are eating meat bird feed..

I give mine turkey starter.

Thanks for the replies. The highest protein I could find at Tractor Supply was 24% Dumor starter. The bag says it is for turkeys, quail, pheasants etc. I bought a 50 lb bag so I guess that's what these keets will be eating for quite a while.

i buy gamebird starter at the co-op. 26 percent protien. i mix it with chick starter to feed my chicks and feed straight to the keets. chicks dont eat as much and grow much alot faster.
