➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[JacinLarkwell]

How old do quail need to be before 24% protein is enough? It's starting to get hard keeping up with the food they need and grinding mealworms to get it to 30% like they need

With 4-5 weeks

Wait I thought 24 was good for them?

I got that from this which says 24 (actually think it says 23) for the first like month and then lower after that? Is that not right?

With 4-5 weeks, I start reducing to be at 6 weeks at 20% protein

Whoops.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen quail starter here... is it the same as game bird feed?

Everything I’ve seen says 24 for Cots?

No problem!!

And I just found another one that I thought was interesting too and has a lot more detail on other nutrients and stuff too

Maybe it’s one of those situations where they need at least that amount but more wouldn’t hurt??? I just hope less doesn’t hurt either
