The choice is yours, however it is important to note that many feeds designed for chickens are medicated. You do not need this for quail. Especially if you have them away from your chickens. I would also do a bit of research about long term effects of feeding them a food that is not optimal for the type of bird you have.Mine aren't laying yet, I just got them...think they are still stressed from being moved and don't think the previous owner gave them enough light. However, a friend of mine had coturnix quail and just gave them what he was feeding his chickens, I think it was like 16-18% protein and they layed eggs every day.
