Let me know if I should move this to the quail section.
Anyway, I just got 6 fertile quail eggs that must survive a car ride tomorrow and hopefull still hatch. If they do, i want to be prepared. I have heard I need from 16 to 28 percent protein feed. I also heard something about a homeade cat food, cereal, and dry/cooked oatmeal feed. Also, i dont want them to lay eggs much (natural lighting) so... Could someone clear that up please? I just want your opinions and possibly links/recipes to buy/make whatever it is you propose. Thanks in advance!
Off topic: What kind of cage should i use for them if they're going to be indoors?
