Turkeys!!

[Marion]

Just curious here... what could a person add to a lower protein feed to increase the protein?

I would think that adding soy might increase the protein. That should be easy to find.
Egg is the "perfect" protein.

As far as smarts, One of my turkeys years ago would stand in the water dish and look for water. He knew water was coming with the hose but did not seem to realize he was standing in it!

I have been feeding the 30% startena by Purina for my quail and turkeys and 2 chicks - they are growing like weeds and very filled out. My trio of welsummers wants the feed BADLY - they have totally ignored their layer pellets and BEG for the startena!

What happens if the protein is not high enough? I have some poults that are dying and I can't figure out why. One by one they get the tremors and end up dying. They eat and drink just fine.

Really? I just got two turkey chicks yesterday for the first time. I was told that some boiled eggs for them would help with the protein - true?

My turkeys are due to hatch on the 4th if all goes well

. The only kind of turkey starter I could find at our store was this http://www.honorshowchow.com/product_pdfs/hsc_pdfs/Turkey/HonorShowChow_TurkeyStarter.pdf
It is 30%, I guess it is a good food to feed them? I hope so at $20 for a 50 lb bag. The other gamebird starter they have is only 20% can I buy a bag of that next time or is that too low of protein? thanks
