I'm thinking of using Nutrena 18% chick starter and adding Organic Feather meal and a pinch of Organic bonemeal (for minerals.)
I would need to use a ratio of chick feed to feather meal of 3:1 to get a protein content of roughly 33%. Is this enough nutrients for growing quail chicks?
My chicks are due to hatch a week from today. I was going to run to TSC to get the chick feed. I ordered the organic feather meal and bonemeal online.
I give my quail layers feathermeal and bonemeal mixed with their layer diet and they absolutely love it!
(Along with freeze dried meal worms and scratch as treats.)
So, will this 3:1 ratio work for quail chicks?
Any opinions?
