Feeding Suggestions

[FalseToast]

Howdy! My two hens are 4 months old now and I just finished their bag of grower. I’m assuming they should be on it for 6 months, but I’m not certain so I figured to ask! Otherwise, I was planning on switching them to some all poultry pellets or an all poultry-type feed anyways. That is the future plan regardless, as I also have chickens and plan on getting other birds.

TL;DR:

4 month old turkeys; keep on grower or able to switch to all poultry?

What kind of all poultry pellets are available, and or what is recommended?

And just for funsies, have some pictures!

Yes, I free range my turks. They love it! Haven’t had any issues whatsoever.

Was it a chicken or turkey grower they were eating? What was the crude protein?
By 4 months you can change their feed. Actually, even the all-flock may be more protein than they need for now. I'll probably get some disagreement on this here but they aren't doing a lot of growing any more so 18% crude protein would be sufficient now.
If the all poultry or all flock feed is about 20% protein, you can modify that temporarily with a bit of grain. Free ranging takes a lot of the guess work out of it. They will find things to self-regulate their protein intake. By now they will have transitioned from invertebrates to seeds and tubers.

They were on a duck/goose/turkey grower/finisher! I believe it was 30%. I’ve watched them as they went about their day and I notice they eat a lot of grass and probably seed, and the occasional worm they manage to find.

But, anywho. Do you have any recommendations for any all flocks/poultry? Never bought it before! Always had chickens, so this all is very new to me!

At 4 months old they will be fine on a good all flock feed. The all flock with free choice oyster shell will be fine for all your poultry.
