Fermented barley and Guinea fowl

[Ashley_m]

I currently have chickens 13 hens and 2 Roos I feed them a mix of fermented barley ( spent barely) and all purpose feed 50/50. Can I also feed my Guinea fowls (3 weeks old) the same diet?

Hello! No young guinea fowl need high protein, such as game bird starter.

Will my feed eventually be good enough

What's in the all purpose fee? Is that like an all flock?

the all purpose is a mix of corn, oats, and seeds

What's the protein content?

 

[Ashley_m]

That I’m not sure but the fermented barley is 10-20%

Do they get to free range? Where are you located?

They will be when they are big enough next spring I’m guessing

Do your birds eat any real feed?
If it's just grains, that's a pretty poor diet fir chickens, let alone guineas.
