Sorry for your loss.

Are you feeding more than seeds? They need a good game bird feed with more nutrition than seeds alone.

Does anyone know of a good game bird feed that does not have wheat in it? I have Celiac Disease and just learned that all my feeds we're feeding our birds and rabbits have wheat middlings in them. We buy our feeds from TSC. The game bird feed is fed not only to our quail but our ducks and geese also, & I eat all the eggs from these birds. I have been sick recently,and need to find a solution to having any wheat in anything at all that will end up on my table. All positive comments welcome. Thank you.

lynn you will have to search feed stores in your area and read labels. Often ingredients change seasonally so you will have to keep up with what's in the bag. Even the dust from the feed might affect you if there is wheat in it.

I hope you get to feeling better!
