Feeding my keets

[Anne Katherine]

My keets are three weeks old and I am planning on moving them outside today as it is warm enough. They will come in at night but right now the temp is plenty warm for them. My question is, can my keets have scratch grain? It would not have to be their main food source, I currently give them turkey crumbles but there is some of the grain in the outdoor cage they will be moved into as it housed two six week old chicks just this morning, (it is the chicks first day in the flock). Is it bad for them? If they get curious and eat some, will it hurt them? And how old do they have to be before I can use scratch feed as their main food?

Keets are a fast growing bird and I try to keep up the protein by giving them Turkey Grow ...



See they grow up big and strong ....
