Tips for raising guinea fowl keets?

[BantammChick]

Ok, the guineas are 10 days old now and they seem to be doing great, but today I ran out of game bird starter and I won't be able to get any until tomorrow. I've tried to feed them some all stock, and bird seed, and bread crumbs, but they won't eat anything else. Will they be ok until I can get more game bird starter?

Do you have any other commercial chicken/poultry feed on hand?

Where do you live? Can you get commercial gamebird or chick starter for your keets? How are your keets doing?
