I've been feeding my quails chicken egg shells mixed in their feed but not exactly sure how many I need to use. I'm currently adding 1 egg shell for every 100grams of feed i.e. 10 egg shells for every kilogram.
We dont get quail feed in India unless you order it in tons in which case they prepare it specifically for you. I therefore prepare my own feed, attaching the image of the formulation. I'm getting close to 27% protein using this formulation.
My question is how many chicken egg shells are required for 1kg of this feed? (Oyster shells are not easily available here)
One of my quails laid an egg on 3 August and then again on 8 August but nothing after that. Is it due to low protein or calcium?
I'm raising these indoors and giving then 15-16 hours of full spectrum artificial light.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
