I think oat groats are better for poultry than rolled oats..

We'll have a dig blocker

ohh okay, sorry! I've seen people call male quail roosters on her, so I didn't know

We're building an enclosure with a coop,yard, and a run. On the yard and coop we're planting red clover for cover as it's going to be bottomless(don't worry, no predators in our area.) and in the coop we might impliment a deep litter idea. I don't know enough about the deep litter though, like...

How would you kill a quail rooster humanely?

Have you considered a bottomless coop with a ground cover like red clover?

I don't know much about chickens but you could partially make a DIY by mixing a seed blend which consists of grains and seeds that are nutritionally balanced for them and mix in some protein. (etc bugs, pea protein, soybean meal.) and give them veggies. I am also experimenting with making my own...

Thank you! I think what would make it cheaper is raising bugs, we have a small dubia roach colony for our lizards so we may raise some for our quail (depending on how well the colony does..) but I've found a seed blend using some of the ingredients you mentioned so I hope that does well for...

I've found a food blend that is specifically formulated for quail. I'm going to use that now
