Babies...food??

[halo]

Quick question, please. Im hatching out some baby guineas (keets?) and just realized that I have no idea what they eat. Do I need to get medicated chick starter for them, or can I feed them Flockraiser that Im feeding the "herd" right now?

Gamebird starter is best. Keets grow FAST and they need the extra protien. I've found a 28% that I feed my entire flock of birds (chickens and all).

They should do okay on a regular chick starter, though. But personally I'd shell out the extra $3-5 bucks for gamebird starter.

Thats good to know, thanks.

I feed mine a 20% flock raiser, since I brood them with chicks. They do fine on this, but gamebird starter is better for them.
