Hello my first post here and yep I have a question on food. I have 8 guinea fowl chicks and would like to know which of the chick starters is best to use. My choices are

Turkey starter crumbles
Chick starter crumbles

Now I don't know what the difference is but was told protein is higher in the turkey crumbles but is that all and is the higher protein ok for the chicks

I will thank you for your help now

Turkey starter for sure much better with the higher protein and crude fat [smilie=a_goodjobson.gif]

When the guinea fowls are free ranging do you actually feed them a seed mix or do they just feed themselves on bugs and insects

Yes yes you have to still feed them some grain but not allot and just hand feed them in the morning is all I do and they stay happy
