quail feed

So reading another post I saw they were running an extremely high protein level for life of the birds. I guess one thing is to determine how long is life. These birds can be culled between 8 and 10 weeks with no growth to be expected later. I am fairly new to quail, less than 6 months but...

My son is getting into quail, build himself a DIY quail hatching incubator. I am wondering what you guys feed the quail as starter feed and where to buy it? (online?) Thnx Marty

Hey everyone! I am rather new to raising quails, The shop near me only sold chick starter feed and meat bird finisher - I got a bit confused and have been feeding my quails meat bird finisher after weeks 12 - for the last 3 months - they have gotten pretty big :( but I only have them for egg...

I heard quails love seeds but I would like to know if day old jumbo quail chicks can eat them too? I know they like grown chia sprouts.

Is it healthy for Quail to survive on the same feed and habitat as my chickens? thanks!

Thought I'd share my research with everyone. I've been raising quail for about 7 months now. In that time I have gotten fantastic quail meat, quail eggs, and learned what my quail love and prefer. I keep them happy and pampered and they lay TONS of eggs. Habitat Hiding places Sandboxes Fine...

Hi, I’m raising about 10 quails hens as for pets not mainly for their eggs or meat. So I’m wondering if someone can give me a list of what extras could be for their coop, feed and anything you can come up with. Many thanks. For now I have a 10X10X7 coop, some nesting boxes, shelter, feeder...

Ok, so we're at Day 12 and it's almost lockdown. Now that the fall garden is winding down and the intial few months is set up for the little fluffies (Yes my 3 year old has decided that's what we will call them when they hatch) I've been thinking about long term plans. I've been reading about...

I just finished my flight pen. I'll try to post some pics soon.... Once I move my quail (prop 8 weeks old now) to the pen, what and how do I feed them? I've been feeding them game bird chick feed in the coup (they have probably 100ft sq open coup area right now) but need to work out my...

Hi y’all, I’m new to ‘Backyard-Chickens’. My question is: What is the best feed for me to give to my week old Japanese-Coturnix Quails? I have them on a 19% Protein Chick Starter recommended to me by my local feed store. I have however been reading that Quail need about 25-28% protein? On...

my little chick, Franklin, is the only survivor of 3 that I hatched. He hatched a couple days ago and had deformed feet. I’m fixing them using the bandaid method. He’ll drink the water I give him, but he won’t eat the food I offer. I tried crushing it a little since the pieces were big.

I saw that someone said they fed their quail parakeet feed does anyone else do that.
