Generally you would give "chick starter" to chicks. You can start feeding them layer pellets when they're anywhere from 2-5 months old.
Also, if you're looking to save money and have the space, free-range chickens are healthier, and eat less grain based food. :)
Turkey poults need higher protein than young chickens. Try to get a Gamebird starter that runs around 28% protein for turkey poults. Most utility chickens get by on much lower starter levels than that, perhaps 20%. Broiler chicks need a higher protein feed than regular chicks, probably around the 24% level, and in a pinch you could feed this to turkey poults. They won't grow as fast or do as well on it, however, than they will on the higher protein mixed feed. Remember that while most young poultry look and sound quite a bit a like, they are different and have different requirements. Turkeys especially have different mineral needs than chickens do, which is why a gamebird starter is always the preferred feed for them while they are young. Some strains of turkeys, for example, need much more manganese or they get into leg problems while this doesn't bother chickens at all.
yes but the gosling's may get a condition called angel wings because chicken feed has a huge amount of protein
because they eat from there mothers beak
The chick should be on chick starter. This is a fine grained feed easy for chicks to eat and digest. Regular chicken food is too big for the tiny chick to eat.
If you hatched or ordered the baby geese you will need to get a waterfowl chick starter from the store. If you let the parents raise the babies, the parents will show them what to eat.
Yes, quail can eat chick starter. You can also feed them Turkey Starter or there is actually a Quail Starter feed out there I think. They also eat bits of egg yolk, live crickets and flies as well.
you can't because the older turkey's woulhd eat the baby turkey's.
Wild turkeys do not eat baby rabbits. Wild turkeys do not eat any kind of meat because they are vegetarians.
a small chicken or a baby chick? small chicken: it can eat any scraps that you have, or chicken feed chick: baby chick feed, you can buy it at most stores (like tractor supply company)
Why would you want it to? Definitely NOT recommended.
Chicks are often fed chick starter. Which is a special kind of feed. It has the right protein level and has also been ground up into small pieces so that the chicks can eat it.
Generally feed stores carry chick feed.
Yes. Turkeys eat insects.
To eat and to become a baby.
