Title: Feeding Advise
Post by: Sam Butler on December 20, 2013, 09:51:55 pm

Hi All,

I am thinking of getting ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys for meat. However I need to know how much of what to feed each of these birds in order to achieve the best and fastest growth.

Can you help me out with this info please?    :thinking: :thinking:

How old will they be when you get them? Are you just getting them for meat? I'd have just thought the relevant finisher pellet with maybe some mixed grain thrown in would work for all. The more important thing though will be the choice of breed. I guess you've narrowed it down more than chicken, duck, goose and turkey?
