I wanted to see if anyone was interested in any of my cockerels before I go. I have 1 blue barred rock, 2 black bantam cochins, 1 buff colombian, 1 blue bantam cochin. I have a black hen bantam cochin that could go with one of the roos.

yeah totally over the top crazy high 9but others already said that



You totally CAn feed ducks and all waterfowl chick starter (its been a VERY long time since the medication was one that would cause harm). Waterfowl feed is much better since they need MORE NIACIN not protien. You can add brewers yeast to their feed to make up for this with chick starter. I would NOT brood waterfowl with any other poultry, they like the water too much and I doubt the chicks and turks need the extra niacin added in.

flock raiser (purina) and all flock (nutrena) are both fine too

They'll all together for a day or so, until I move them from the "newbie" brooder in the house to the multi-pen brooder outside. Then I can separate them. Can I put turkeys and ducks in same brooder?

Gotcha! ducks=messy I'm running low on heat sources, so I wanted to know the best way to use them.

They're all outside, the nine 4-5 week olds have a seedling heat mat, the 28 1-2 week olds have a heat lamp. I have one more heat lamp and an ecoglow 20.
