Granny's gone and done it again

Thanks for coming Banty, and peas for niacin ? How much ? every day ? Seems like vit. would be better and less a pita.

Peas?? I have no clue. Brewers' yeast is most commonly used, but the flock starter has enough.

How many are you getting Twist ? You know they cant go swimming for a while. They dont have oil in their feathers/fluff and can get chilled just like a chick.

They can, I let mine go swimming as soon as they're off heat, which is about 1-2 weeks. Just make sure it's either warm weather or they get dried after.

I thought I did too... @casportpony?


You're in the US, yes? Purina flock raiser is the best there. Nutrena flock raiser is available in Canada too and it's pretty much the same thing.

so start with Nature wise starter or the all flock BUT not the meat bird then and niacin in the water or can they get enough from other types of foods

I remember mine took forever to feather. I am assuming he wont be there to dry them off . Thats why I recommended no swimming .

yep and need the same heat situation as chicks. BUT extra water to clean their faces with.
