I feed game bird feed from tractor supply. Not sure what people give the chicks as I've not had chicks.

How much is that?

I fed mine on turkey crumb as it was higher in protein than the chick crumb x

Did you feed your adult quail turkey crumb or the babies?

Both. But I'm in UK. You may find better alternatives in the States as they seem to cater for poultry far better over there x

Turkey crumble is the same as game bird feed here. It's like $8 for a small bag. Depends on how many quail you're feeding. They don't eat a lot. Give layers some oyster shells on the side.
