Is 22% protein ok?

WHEAT GERM IS MERELY POWDERED POO... HAS ZERO NUTRITIONAL VALUE, CORN HAS LOTSA FAT, NOT MUCH PROTIEN, YOU NEED TO ADD SOY BEAN MEAL ( 48- 50% protien)

Yeah, coturnix don't digest corn very well. They only get 40% of the energy that they could.

Awww cmon I spinkle that stuff on my cereal everyday now im probably not gonna eat it for weeks!Do you think my feedstore will sell soy bean meal?Im going there tommorow.

 

[Robo]

Probably, mine has it sometimes.

 

[JJMR794]

Most Stores Around Here Have It

Alright thanks,hey JJ you said corn has alot of fat in it,think it would be a good idea to feed it to extra males in a seperate cage?I would probably butcher them at 10 weeks so maybe start feeding extra at 7-8 weeks?I would obviously still give em there normal feed but a little fat wouldent hurt on the barbeque.

If They're Eaters And Not Breeding Stock I See No Harm In Tryin It

Nope im getting 30 baby quail in the spring and im guessing theres gonna be lots of males im only gonna pick the biggest for breeding the rest are going in a big rabbit hutch with lots of feed and corn.

Give them about 8 hours of daylight.
