QUAIL BASICS for BEGINNERS

Solid article with good information, I disagree with a few points (eg. Adults can have 14% protein chicken feed with no issues and fertility ratios should be higher than 2-4, 2-4 is risky due to quails habit to overbreed. 5-6 is best for fertile eggs).

You’re welcome! Glad I could help!
Great article with good info for beginners! The only thing I would change is to change 'breeds' to 'varieties' or something like that - technically there are no breeds of quail :)

Very informative. What do you do to make sure they get adequate calcium?

Usually a good game bird feed or turkey starter feed has a sufficient amount of calcium for the quail. Quail usually only need 1-2 percent calcium in their diet. If you check the label on the feed, it should be ranging from 1-2 percent. If it is any less than that, you might have to add some crushed oyster shell to their diet.

Hope that helps!
Nice job! Very informative information.
