So I have a backup meat feed called naturewise meatbird crumble that I will feed them for now until I go buy more feed. It has a 22% protein, 1% lysine, 0.37% methionine, 2.5% fat. It's slightly low since my quails are adults.I just read the nutrition information on that, and it is completely inadequate for quail. Protein, lysine, mehtionine, and calcium are all low.
This will give you an idea of what you're looking for:

So I attached photos of what I plan to buy, the guide you sent says 20-24% so is 28% high for my pretty grown quail (I bought them from craigslist so idk how old they are exactly but they are fully grown and chunky girls)
