Personally since you are only planning to get 2 or 3 birds, I would give them a warm bath in cat/dog flea/tick shampoo with an insect growth regulator (follow directions on the bottle). Wrap in a towel to absorb moisture and after about 15 minutes use ivermectin pouron in hte sing pit or back of neck. Then blow dry. Keep in a warm area for at least 24 hours.
I'd ask for a small amount of her feed so tha over about a week you can wean them from hers to whatever you choose. Start at about 50/50 and gradually decrease the amount of hers that you use. Personally I would be feeding a gamebird grower at 5 months, and as I said, supplementing with some grains (wheat, oats, rice), fresh fruits and veggies, oil seeds (safflower, black oil sunflower) and possibly bird vitamins such as Avia Charge 2000 or calf manna.
