Can I give chicks and keets the same feed?

[EarlJ]

Yes. But because of the Covid 19 I can’t find most brands in my area. The highest protein I can find is this brand 24%.

If you're effected so by Covid, ordering feed online is sensible. You just have to anticipate when you'll need more.

I'm also in a different boat. We have guineas (and keets), chickens (and chicks), ducks (and ducklings), pigs (and piglets), goats, and rabbits. I'm just resigned to having to scoop stuff out of 20 different bags

And will it hurt the mother hens if they eat this feed?

It is helpful for the hens to have the high quality feed. It helps them recover from the strain that being broody put on their bodies.

Dumor is an acceptable grower feed but does not have the lysine, methionine, niacin or protein levels that keets and poults need for the first 6 weeks of their life. Yes they can survive on it but they will never reach their full potentials.

Dumor 24% Chick starter grower feed.

I will provide them with the proper feed, once they are done raising their foster babies. Thank you all. Very helpful. As always. Stay safe!

That’s what I thought. These ladies are almost skin and bones after sitting on the eggs for so many weeks. I can tell because their comb is discolored. It’s pink instead of bright red like the other ones. Thank you again. Stay safe you all.

Yes and no you can feed them keet starter but its not recommended to feed the keets chick starter and definitely not the medicated
