FEEDING QUAIL

[007Sean]

Thank you 007Sean, and do you know what the adults protein and calcium should be?

I feed mine 24% from hatch till death. If it's a complete and balanced feed, you shouldn't have to supply extra calcium, ie; oyster grit
Would only give grit if your feeding cereal type grains, the grit aids in breaking down the seeds in the gizzard.

I've been ISO for Blackthroated Bobwhites. Their native to Campeche, Central America and Venezuela. There's a breeder in Florida but I have been unable to make contact.

Is that Virgil Bates?

Is that Virgil Bates?

No, not Virgil

 

[The Phantom]

No, not Virgil

Ok. He seems to have just about anything.

Have you ever raised Roul Roul partridges?

Have you ever raised Roul Roul partridges?

No, but would like too. I've heard they can be difficult to breed and to raise.

Baby quail will need game bird starter. It is a much higher protein than chick starter. What breeds are you looking at?
@007Sean

I don't know the breed name, but my friend has some that I was thinking about buying, the aren't button quail, and they're not exotic, and they look a lot like this

some lay blue eggs because the lady she got them from selectively bred them to get the blue color

Those are Coturnix quail.

I was talking to Virgil and he said they were like quail. He keeps them on sand and said they fairly easy. They just can’t handle the cold well. I was looking into getting some this spring.
