And I hope it isn't a big one. I have a mixed hatch of chicks, ducklings and a lone turkey. Since I don't want to brood the turkey alone and make him more mentally unbalanced than a turkey is normally, how do I feed him/her. It is a Royal Palm btw. Do heritage turks need the high protein like the fast growers do or can I get by with him with chick starter? Another option is to mix chik and turkey starter 50/50 to get a 24% feed and feed the chicks a bit rich and the turkey a bit lower protein then a normal turkey starter. Any body got a good opinion on this?
