This is helpful because yes, I do want to give them a diet as close to their natural diet as possible. I also forgot to add, I feed them dried mealworms which they love eating. And I sometimes add in oyster shell and grit. They don't always seem to eat that though.

Is it BAD for them? Or just not optimal for egg laying?

I have 8 coturnix quail and I feed them high protein crumbles and to make it interesting, I started giving them wild bird seed mix. Now they ONLY want to eat that! They barely touch the crumbles. Does wild bird seed mix give them enough nutrition so that it won't adversely affect their health?
