How much protein in it? Game bird or turkey starter/grower is generally better.

The label states 18.0 percent protein.

Thank you.... Yes, there is a Tractor Supply on the other side of town. (I'm sorry I really don't know how to answer you on this site...rather confusing )

You're doing fine.
Did you see the post from @Gray Farms concerning the feed?
Looks like Purina Organic Chick Starter is 18% protein, so if he's recommending a Game Bird or Turkey Feed, then I would use that if you can get it. I know times are tough right now and some things may not be available. Do the best you can and keep us posted.

He is still the same...Has a voracious appetite, drinking his water laced with vitamins, but still can't stand without falling backwards. I hate to think of the end choice I will have to come to terms with

Some times that tendon fails over the knee. Do you think this is maybe what is going on. ??
If so you need to tie the legs. How are the feet ?

 

[Orbeck]

His little feet are fine.... When he topples backward, he can't regain his upright position. Just flails around on the ground kicking. When I set him back to squatting, he doesn't try to stand he just stretches up and falls backward and then over on his side...and the kicking and struggling begins. Totally Breaks my Heart. Now it appears his legs are being splayed, but he can't stand so why put him thru anymore discomfort?
