That's good! That's really low for quail though.The Gamebird feed I have is at 19%, and I have been using it ever since they were chicks up until now.
I wouldn't be giving them it if it had 26-30%, as that'd be waaaay too high for them!
Her eggs have been totally normal up until this one....its why Im confused. All of my chickens are hens and all the same age, and nobody has laid a soft shelled egg since They all began laying probably 3 weeks ago. But thank you for the advice, I'll try to find some vitamins as you said.You can feed whatever you like. Some have no problem with layer.
I don’t feed layer because I have roosters and young chicks all the time
I’d offer oyster shell in a separate dish. Could you get some chicken vitamins with D to add to their water? It seemed to help my OE get hard shells. She laid shell less eggs for 2 weeks and someone on here suggested it. It worked within a few days. Hope she lays some normal eggs for you soon!
Feed an 18-22% all flock, maintenance, or grower feed. Provide free-choice calcium on the side. Make sure when you feed treats they don't encompass more than 10% of all fee given.
It did have a shell....it was even olive in color! Lol And even though it was soft, it didnt break from the drop. Strange....I'll hope thats her only one! I have only one Olive Egger, so I know its her egg. I have some good suggestions on here if it continues.
Ok, would it be ok for me to finish out the bag of layer feed and then switch?
