When to switch to grower feed?

Yes, I feed mine 27% turkey starter until they are almost fully feathered. Turkey poults and duckling have almost identical niacin requirements, so by doing this I don't need to supplement any niacin.

Ohh def going to keep that in mind!

I'm not sure if @albinosilver got their question answered, but you all have been most helpful to me. 2 weeks in we have used 11 pounds of feed already and are only eating more and more. So at that rate they will be through this bag before they are 8 weeks old, which is when @Jpat recommend switching off the crumbles and right around the time they should be close to fully feathered. Seems good to me. I don't have to worry about niacin supplement at least until then! @casportpony do you supplemt niacin after they are fully feathered?

@casportpony do you supplemt niacin after they are fully feathered?

No, because they continue to get some of they 27% turkey crumbles even as adults.

There you go @albinosilver! This is the best advice you can get between @Jpat @casportpony @Miss Lydia. Listen to them and do what they say and you'll be good to go!
