Feed them gamebird starter, or a very high protien content poultry feed in crumble form.

thanks ill have to get some.ive got a pelleted feed to feed them now.but im afraid they will drown when i put water in with them.how long should i leave them penned up before letting them in the yard.

Put some clean pebbles or aquarium rocks in the bottom of the waterer if you think they may drown. Marbles work too. That will make it shallow so they won't drown.

Do you have them in a fenced area away from other birds or are you going to let them out to range with the rest of the flock?
