9 Week Old Guinea Fowl

[danielle2003]

My guinea keets are now 9 weeks old. I've been feeding them 28-30% game starter/grower. What now? Do I keep feeding them this? If so, how long? If not, what do I transition them to? Thank you!

You can keep feeding it if you need to use it up or you can switch to a turkey or game bird grower (usually around 24% protein) for the next 3 or 4 weeks. Once they are at least 12 weeks old, they can have an adult feed such as all flock or flock grower.

Great! Thank you! I'm completely new to to guinea fowl, and I'm so glad there's a forum to ask all my questions!

Somewhere around this point I switch to chick starter/grower 17% protein. If that’s all the birds are eating, I add brewers yeast, but if birds are free ranging, I figure they are getting supplemental nutrition there.
