what to use to up the protein level

[adorable]

Hello
I bought some meat birds,, turkeys, ducks and layers... all day old.. I want to keep them all together .. .. because I have ducks.. I went with no medicated starter... it is 20%.. I cant get game bird or non medicated turkey starter.. that is the highest in protein I can get that isn't medicated..... so my question is,,, what can I put on there food to up it?

I was thinking of wet cat food... would that work

At our local rural store chain, they have Turkey or Game starter at 28% in crumbles, and also a Poultry Starter in crumbles at 24% protein. Either product would suit your needs well.

You can feed fish, meat, insects, cat food, sprouts, sunflower seeds (which can fall into the sprouts category), cheese, scrambled/boiled eggs, ect.

Pretty much any high protein food you would eat yourself. Just be sure to provide grit and limit salt.

Also I read something about ducks needing niacin...search byc for it. I have never had ducks though.
