Feed for pet quail

[veggiecanner]

Do pet quail over the age of 6 weeks still need game bird feed? I am asuming they would be females since they don't crow. But since they might like males any way would they do ok on some thing else?

the ideal for layers is 20%

what most people do is have a game chick crumb and layers mash mix

so they get the best of both worlds

for example

a chick crumb at 30% and a layers mash at 16%

will give 23% over all and have all the things a laying quail needs




the way you work this out for anyone that is unsure is add both percentages and divide by 2

if you mix 3 different feeds for example the add all 3 and divide by 3

example

22% Crumbs 16% layers and 8% Seeds

22 + 16 + 8 = 46

46 / 3 = 15.3%

not enough protein then
