What medicine's are a must for adult pea's and chick's?

What do you feed your pea babies and pea adults?
I started all of my chicks on 27% turkey starter, but this can cause problems like slipped tendon, so you should ask someone more experienced about feeding peafowl. But my chicks also had access to sunshine, grass, greens, bugs, eggs, table scraps, etc, so that might be why none of my chicks had any leg problems. Interestingly, the feed store fed their chicks the exact same food, and at least 25% of their peafowl developed slipped tendon.

My adults get a game bird seed called TMC. http://www.seedfactory.com/Game-Bird-Blends/game-bird-blends-TMC-mix.html, alfalfa hay, access to oyster shell and small amounts of turkey starter mixed with water. CT free ranges, so he also gets grass and bugs.

That game bird seeds looks good enough for humans to eat. :drool

I feed 26% - 30% protein to my peas and no leg issues as well. They also get fruits and veggies.
 
Chicks to three months get turkey/game bird starter (crumble) at 24-27%.

Adult peas get 25% cat food, 75% 16% mini pellet during the warm/hot months and 25% cat food, 75% 22% mini pellet during the winter as a base. They also get a scratch feed mixture each day and the occasional green treat. I have also been knwn to throw in a couple of hand fulls of corn every couple of days into each pen during the winter.

What type of cat food do you feed? Mini pellets? The TMC that mine love has them, but I have never seen them in a store... Who makes yours?
 
I alternate a bag of the cheap food at TSC with a bag of the TSC brand. The TSC brand is a small bit feed that is no soy.

The mini pellet layer feeds are from Taylor. They are located somewhere here in the southeast so they probably are not available everywhere. The mini pellets are the best thing since sliced bread in terms of food waste. My birds will not eat regular sized pellets. I also like Taylor crumbles as they appear to be the mini pellets chopped. There is not near as much "fine" material in the bag. It is almost like little BBs in size.
