Turkey Starter Ration

[smithshyre]

Turkey chicks need 30% protein starter right? In my area there is no organic soy free turkey starter. So I've been using turkey grower with 20.5 % protein and adding eggs, hard boiled. I read about this is a Salatin book which one I cant remember. Anyways any thoughts? How much eggs is too much? They go crazy for it I mean bonkers.

When I had turkeys (miss them) I fed a gamebird feed that was 24% protein, I believe. They did great on it but also free ranged everyday and got kitchen scraps.

I lost poults to tuberculosis until I put them on hardboiled eggs with raw chopped onion or raw chopped dandelion leaves, until they decided they were big enough to not have more. Generally didn't take them more than a few weeks but they also freeranged and had grain mix.

I feed the gamebird starter, it is 24% protein and has pictures of turkeys all over the bag.....
