Please Help me with Merriam's turkey poults

[reyecat]

I have 5, and I've had them on chick starter 20% protein.

they've seemed to be doing okay but I just read I'm supposed to feed them higher protein.

I don't have a higher protein available.

should I add meal worms or something to their daily ration?

I just came across these and was not prepared but we thought we'd try save them. They are about a week and a half old.

Find some cheep puppy chow and crunch it up to add to their feed. Always worked good for me. Won't have to crunch it up as they get bigger but will for while they are little. I usually mixed in like 30% puppy food to 70% chick feed.

I just bought what ever was cheapest. Never had an ill effect for me.
