What all do you feed your turkeys besides turkey food?

[KOTurkeyRanch]

I was wondering what all of you feed your turkeys other than the food made for them?
I've heard of rice and eggs, is there anything else?

Momma's turkey babies get whatever they want. LOL! My turks are suckers for grapes, yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, greens, and mashed potatoes. There's probably more but those are ones that come first to mind.

do you know of any foods that improve feathering or any nutrients that do?

Game Bird Feed is what we use for our Turkeys and Ducks. The high protein helps them grow. You could probably get away with a "Broiler" Feed, something with higher protein than Layer feeds have.

I think the boiled egg and maybe mealworm will help with the feathering

Mine will eat dog and cat food as well as the horses sweet feed.
I let them free range and they seem to eat alot of grass also.
I keep meat bird feed and layer pellets in their feeder in the barn also.

I buy organic grains in bulk (local organic feed co-op) that I soak and feed to my laying hens, turkeys, and extra roosters. This is in addition to their commercial feeds. I try for all natural, no additives feed. I often get bulk fruits and veggies that I feed as treats.

Mine love to steal the sweet feed out of our pony's feed bowl and will chase you around the yard if they know you have some watermelon or lettuce
