How Should I Feed My Pet Quail During the Pandemic?

[ThatOneQuailLover]

Hello!
I have 5 Coturnix Quail, 3 of them are adults (around 1 year old?) and 2 of them are juveniles (The youngest around 3 1/2 weeks old, the older one around 4-5 weeks old.)
I'm concerned about how I should feed them if Tractor Supply or other feed stores nearby end up closing. (Tractor Supply is still open operating from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. but in the case it ends up closing or I can't make it there in time I need this advice.)
In the case worst comes to worst, and I can only go to PetSmart (operating at normal times, I also go here for my Leopard Geckos) or the grocery store, what should I do? Would wild bird seed supplemented with boiled eggs and calcium (like oyster shells?) be an option, or is there any other advice I can take to possibly add to that or feed them something different? My quails are very dear to me and I want to keep them as healthy as possible as well as be a good bird parent.
I might be overthinking, but I just want to know anything I can if worst comes to worst.
Thank you.

Feed stores are considered to be essential services. It is unlikely they will close completely, but if for some weird, catastrophic reason they do, millet, mealworms, insects are part of their natural diet. It's important to make sure they get enough protein, so the boiled egg (with shell) is a good idea as well.

Thank you so much. I was just worried about that.
I'll definitely keep this in mind, I appreciate the advice.

If you only have 5 quail it must take them quite some time to consume a 50lb bag of feed. Why not buy a "few" (not 20) bags of feed and be covered for months?

They love millet. And sprouts, especially alfalfa and sunflower sprouts. Mashed hardboiled egg is good too.

Stay safe.

You could probably feed them cheep cat food, its usually about 30% protein
