Coturnix Quail Basics- Information and Pictures Galore

[LocalYokel]

We have talked of raising a beef for our freezer but if he has issues with the chickens I think the beff is safe. Quail were not as bad as he imagined. I like the idea of raising and processin our own. Who knows what is in the meat at the store. We have helped process beef and hogs for others. Deer, geese, squirrel, rabbit and other game from hinting I just don't see where his brain flips over at chickens to nope I cant. So I guess I will learn.

Do I need to worry about providing grit for newborn cots? Their base feed is 28% Nutrena gamebird feed.

you can offer it. If its based for all life stages it should contain grit tho.
