It's not the keets that have an issue with 30% protein, hon. She has a mixed brooder, like I do. The 30% is about 10% higher than chicks need. So, you can sometimes split the difference and have it ok - depending on how you go about doing it. That's all we're talking about.30% should be fine in a non-mixed brooder. Peeps is the one in the know if anyone is - I'm sure she'll say for certain.
The ones in that video are French Guineas, also. They grow fast. I couldn't believe how fast they feathered out. In no time at all (much quicker than my chicks) I had to put a lid on the brooder to keep them in. We were slow about the lid on the new brooder....fun times chasing keets around the room trying to catch them!!
Edit: Makingshift, I just now noticed you are right down the road from me. How funny is that. You should come join us on the Texas thread.
That's exactly the one I thought was so amazingly cute. I'd frame it **grins** Oh, and happy update - I caught our escape artist this morning! :yiipchick
