    any suggestions on how i can make this feed good for quail?

    I feed the layer to my hens. i know quail need 24-28 protein as chicks so not sure how i can do that but as adults looks like 18-20 is good. and the grower is 18 so i dont think i need to add much more? I know i will have to grind all the food since its whole. But much easier to buy all the same...

    best incubator- table top likely

    So i bought a brisnea back in the day and it was the basic model. could never get very good hatch rates and i think its the humidity issue. I live on the coast so my new incubator needs to be able to auto humidity. Anyone have suggestions? for chickens and possibly quail in the future.
