My duck/chicken life

[rjohns39]

XD mom brought home turkeys since ours didnt hatch.

Afternooon That's awesome! Make sure you get a good Turkey Starter or game bird starter feed. Chick starter doesn't have enough niacin, meth and one other ingredient I can't remember for turkeys.

Gots to rehome some ducks.

The injured duckling can no longer be told apart from the others.

That's great news.

I suppose it can. But gamebird or turkey starter is going to be much much better for them.

See if you can convince her to add brewers yeast. Just top dress the feed.

Health food store or amazon.

I tried using chick starter for my last batch of turkeys, because I couldn't get turkey starter. I top dressed with brewers yeast for the first 3 weeks, wasn't long enough. Had a high mortality rate and a very slow growth rate. I'll never try that again.

I've attached the Turkey recipes that the Sustainable Poultry Network uses for Heritage Turkeys. Compare the guaranteed analysis of the second recipe to your chick starter. Go armed with data and your own analysis.

You may find this interesting... I use Tucker cause that's what I can get. I reached out to them about their chick starter and they confirmed it wasn't suitable for Turkeys.

Here's the file.
