Hey All!

I FINALLY was able to find some high protein feed from the feed store where I live for my Bobwhites. I've been using 24% protein Manna Pro for a few weeks and have been supplementing with kale, peas, spinach, etc for extra protein. I am now able to switch to 30% protein Game Bird Chow. I'm assuming that I need to mix them instead of just switching them straight over. Can i just go 50/50 manna/gamebird and then adjust as I refill the feed or do i need to start with like a 70/30 mix and then go from there. If I don't need to mix, that would be awesome too (although i do need to use this Manna somehow).
 
I am not familiar with virginia quails, but it seems very high protein for adult quails.
Or are they still chicks?

For adult japanese quails more than 20% protein increases the risk of eggbound.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!
