    Thoughts on this as quail feed

    Saw a video on YouTube of a guy using ground up floting fish pellets as feed for his Coturnix quail. Maybe someone else has also seen the video. Anyways, it is sold at TSC and has a whopping 36% protein! He says it does the quail no harm and beats spending close to $30 for something that has...

    Hi all, Been 'lurking' around here for several months, mainly looking and learning. Finally decided to take the plunge and get some ducklings; my wife and I decided on Black Swedish in the end. 11 of them arrived on May 29th - 9 are females, 1 is a drake & the last one was a freebie so we...
