You'll find they will be fine but some people give extra protein in the form of fishy cat food or tuna in water. :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

I'm near to you OP and agree it's been spring like here.

Mine have 1 1/2 pints of white maggots (from the fishing tackle shop) once a week.  Pure protein to help with feathering and helps ward off any potential crop problems too.

some people also use poultry spice, nutridrops, ACV in the water and/or garlic granules.
