feed for quail

[SuseyQ]

Has anyone ever heard of anyone using a grain-free, soy-free feed (could be homemade), successfully with quail?

Thank You,

Soy free yes, grain free, no. You're way overthinking this.

Em Ty,
Not overthinking, just a bit concerned that I may become allergic to the eggs as I'm grain-free d/t extensive allergies. I think I'll just try to stick with soy and corn free as well as organic/non GMO. At least that is my present thought unless it's way too costly and I can't find anything in my area. Shipping a bag costs about as much as the feed itself or sometimes more than the feed so this doesn't seem like a viable option.

I did purchase my incubators. About 3 1/2 to 4 weeks until the eggs arrive. I opted to go with JMF Pharaoh's. I'm really excited!

If you can get non GMO & soy free, great. If not, try for non-GMO and see how that goes.

I know it takes a lot longer and a lot more effort, but it's amazing to see them hatch and they're the cutest things you'll ever see when they're less than a week old. Good luck with everything.

It looks like I've got baby rabbits coming tonight. I'm pretty excited, even though they're pretty ugly until they get older. I can only hope that they get their mother's disposition. She's the sweetest. I'm going to be crying in 10-12 weeks.

EmTy,
There are options out there, but shipping costs make them almost ridiculous and I'm surely not going to try to make my own at this point. What takes a lot longer and a lot more effort?

Are these your first rabbits? That's going to be my next venture. I think rabbits should be easier than quails, but I could be wrong. I heard breeding them could get tricky. What type of rabbits are you raising? I haven't decided on a rabbit breed yet, but that's my next adventure. It might not happen this year, but soon.

Hope all works out well for you,
