new food

I just ran out of food for my 4 week old pekins. i was feeding 20% starter/grower with a tablespoon of by for every cup of food and out meal to cut back the protein. I was wondering if that’s the best route to go or if anyone has any better suggestions to cut back all the mixing and buying other products.

Could you give us the brand name of the BY, and the feed your using?

Well at 4 weeks that's when people start talking about a slightly less protein mix change to prevent angel wing.

But some people don't change anything at all and say they turn out fine.

yeah i knew that and that’s why i’m not sure if i should just keep the same food and mix oatmeal to cut back protein

That could work. And they love oatmeal already anyway!

Seriously.

When I feed them oatmeal, the feeding frenzy is the worst ever.

But I think oatmeal would be good because it wouldn't reduce the protein too much, which you kind of want, since you are only trying to lower it a couple of percent points.
