Does anyone raise coturnix quail on natural feeds and not on store bought food?
If so, what do you feed for them to thrive?
I was thinking of other countries that struggle with food shortages and quaility of foods and thinking of how practical quail would be to raise if there was some sort of feed that could be given other than gamebird feed or the like. Our church supports many missionaries in South America where reliable food and clean foods are not available. I know some organizations send goats, or rabbits, or chickens to help people get a food source established but quail would be such a fast protein source as well as eggs.
Any advice or opinions would be appreciated.
