I raise several species of roaches and mealworms for mine and while I do see them break up larger bugs my jumbo hen is a glutton and she just swallows everything whole, so I guess I’m overcareful because of her. Was weird to feel bugs moving around in her crop though.

They will eat almost any insect, but grasshoppers and earthworms can be too big for them to swallow. They shouldn’t eat too many at once. They can also contain parasites or pesticides. Insects are a great addition to a quail’s diet but be prepared for problems if you do decide to feed them.
