They should have nonmedicated game bird starter, but you can use regular chick starter if you don't have the game bird starter. You can wet it and mash it with a fork to get it smaller. Or put it in the blender or food processor to make it smaller. The crumbles are too big for them when they hatch.

Coturnix are not native to North America. They've tried to establish them by releasing 100's of thousands of them with no luck - so there isn't actually much to worry about if they were released to the wild.

The coturnix quail are great because they will be laying at 8-9 weeks of age. Eggs galore.

The bobwhite quail is native to the US, and the mountain and valley quail are native to some parts, though scarce today. I wouldn't mind hatching valley quail to replenish the wild. I don't have a permit to release them, but I could let them "free range".

Ahhhh....now I remember... Bobwhites are native here. I used to listen to them in the woods/fields behind my house while growing up. haven't heard one in a VERY long time.

Thanks.......another egg to hatch.
