I’ve been on a quest to find feed for my quail, I live in a rural area 90 miles from the nearest Walmart, we have plenty of feed stores and local coops and elevators around but most only sell chicken feed, though I can get gamebird/turkey feed if I order 2 tons for my 20 quail! I found purina gamebird starter and maintenance feeds in the next town over, 45 miles) but would have to get the layer feed shipped to my house from tractor supply (expensive!). I did find a high protein chicken layer feed at a local feed store chain designed for free range chickens with the option to supplement with scratch grains (I’d feed it straight and obviously quail don’t free range!) The calcium and protein levels are at appropriate levels for laying quail. It is a chicken sized pellet but I can crush them smaller if necessary, is there anything else I should be considering here? Thanks!
