I'm setting up my brooder in anticipation of hatching my button/chinese painted quail next week. I've got a parakeet waterer for them and was planning to use brita-filtered water (tap water here is quite hard). I've bought this 22% turkey starter crumb to grind up: https://www.animalfeedstore.com/product/turkey-starter-crumbs/
I'm guessing I should supplement their feed with something like hard boiled chicken eggs — should I give this to them from day 1?
Also, should I be adding any extra vitamins or electrolytes to their water? Is there anything else useful to have on-hand in case any are weak or sick? I'm not worried about growing them super fast, I just want them to be as healthy as possible. Thanks for your advice!
