I've been raising my button/Chinese painted quail chicks on Allen & Page's turkey starter crumb supplemented with boiled egg, but they've been acting a little odd (walking backwards after eating) and I want to swap out the food to see if it's a problem.
I'm guessing 5 weeks is old enough to provide grit, mix in some finch seed and change the crumb to an adult one, but I don't know what to get. Any game bird feed I find is in pellet form, which seems like it could be too big for them. Does anyone know a good product that I can get hold of in the UK? Or any advice on what type of feed would be best for the rest of their lives (protein % etc.)?
