Feed

[Charlie Wooster]

This is my quail feed, local I reckon.. manufactured just a few hours north.. but it’s done the job for me for 20 plus years.. I do add calcium/egg layer supplement.. no treats here.. just put 120 lbs in this can.. it lasts the month, plus 2 weeks usually.. and I got a 40lb bag of gamebird starter plus 1/4 bag from last hatch.. I’m loading incubator tomorrow with 65 jumbo eggs.. keep the train a rollin.. lol

Thast would make a perfectly good layer (with the supplimental calcium) feed for other poultry as well. I do something similar, using a game bird grower as the base of my mix for my chickens and ducks, though my GBG is a lower base protein (24%) than the 28% you have access to. Another example of why labels matter more than names. Thanks for sharing that one.


Fortune favor your hatching!

Based on the label, it looks it's an Atwood's brand. Even though my profile says Texas Hill Country (that's where my land is), I'm actually in the Dallas area. The closest Atwood's is out, but I'll keep it in mind for my next feed purchase. Thanks for the recommendation.

What do you use as a starter for your chicks?

The flockmaker crumbles are 20% protein “all-flock” so I basically use it across the board for hatchling all the way through……it’s crumbles, but I typically run it through a grinder for quail or buttonquail chicks for first few days

Name of feed store? I’m gonna get some delivered to me next weekend..

It's A-1 Feed Store in Cedar Hill. They don't carry the 24% grower, but I picked up a bag of the starter today. Here's their list of dealers, there might be something closer to you:
