➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[sealer39]

I’m trying to decide on the feed for my future quail. I can order these from TSC. Does anyone have any experience with these products? If not, does the protein levels seem ok? I will be raising the jumbo Coturnix primary for meat.
This starter has 30% protein

This conditioner feed has 19% protein.

Nice!! Looks tasty

Coincidentally, my ad just below this is for McDonald’s chicken nuggets!

I use Purina Game bird & Turkey Starter 30% for the first 8 weeks then switch to MG layer formula. Works well. Getting nice growth.

Add niacin in the water for the first 6 weeks.

Thank you. I’ve never seen MG products around here. Thanks for the tip with the niacin.

MG is made between Houston and Austin. Talk to your local feed store and they may supply it. TSC and other national chains don't carry the small grain mills.

My feed store will order anything they make. I special order a grower for meat birds. Mine is fresh and I don't have to worry about old, moldy feed. Works well for us. He is having a banner year after struggling before covid. Glad to see his business picking up and I hope it stays that way. Customer service is special.

I’ll ask around then and see if I can get it.

Agree with nutty I think you can get a higher quality local feed for same price if not better.

I'm paying $14 for 50#. Either 18% laying crumble or 18% grower feed. The Turkey starter is $22/50#.

Prices are creeping up about $0.50 per year.

My local feed store only carries southern state as far as gamebirds go, they have nothing else with high protein, and none of their suppliers offer anything else. The game birds crumble went up $.50 a month and a half ago, and now another $4.00 this month! I switched to southern states because I was paying $33/50# for Hudson feed thru chewy, now Hudson is $30.50 vs the now $24.50 of southern states, and Hudson comes right to my door, the feed store is 30 minutes away. I just finished weaning them off Hudson. These mill prices are going crazy.
