what do you feed y our quail whrn they mature and get ready to breed? i feed the 28% protein chick starter as babies but not sure if i can keep feeding this or need to change.
I just buy gamebird food for them but I found out it doesnt have enough protein so im getting them turkey starter.I also like to feed them scrambled eggs once in a while and leafy stuff too,they go crazy for millet and im learning on how to grow it becouse its so expensive at the store.
i feed gamebird starter from southern states...it's a good protein and they like it and i don't switch it out when the babies are adults is turkey starter medicated? i don't think quail are supposed to be fed medicated feed...
Unmedicated Gamebird Crumbles. There are many brands out there. Some people like Purina, other Manna Pro. There is one more I forgot But for adult, I think that is what you are asking, I feed Manna Pro with a mixture of ground up oyster shell for added calcium.
I feed Purina Gamebird Startena to the breeders and add finely Crushed Oyster shell and dried crushed egg shells to their Sandbox along with other things. I am trying it. Calcium was added to their sandbox at 5 weeks old. My 5 week olds are the first hatch to be on an exclusive feed now that I have a new source for ordering feed when I want it. Low and behold it actually comes in before I need it. I have in the past used a different Gamebird grower feeds, so I am testing and we'll see. If I don't like what I see, I will use the Startena for the first 4 weeks and switch to the other at week 5, like before. Weeks six and seven will be the telling points for me. edited to specify gamebird so there is no misunderstanding. And thanks for reminding me. I had to order for a 23rd delivery to pick up. I was going to just order #500, but deal said, nay he orders every week, so I might as well get it as I need it and get it fresh. I'm loving this service with a smile.
Unmedicated Gamebird Starter 30% Is All They Get Here From "hatch To Dispatch"- Whenever That May Be...
I feed my button quail non medicated gamebird starter, finch food and cracked corn with a small dish of either egg, apple, broccoli or cucumber.
