So Have had the egg layers for about 5 years now. A friend who is new to chickens wanted to know if we could go halfsies on some meat birds. So im doing my research and read the sticky threads on this.
Well I can NOT find 21% protein feed. I have found 20% and 28% turkey grower. Have gone to tractor supply and the local feed and seed. Haven't gone to southern states...yet.
So both places told me "just feed the 20% they will be fine". I am trying to find out how much the exact feed I need to give is, so not very helpful. Also the local feed and seed said feed them scratch, it is higher in protein and organic, and THAT does not sound right.
Friend would LIKE to feed organic if possible, but at this point, id just be happy to FIND the right feed.
Any advice?
