No chick crumb what to do

[Trinny]

As was said, not to worry. The quail feed will suffice if they come off the nest before you can buy feed.
The bigger concern is the staggered hatch. If there are eggs that are two days ahead of the others, the hen may come off the nest to care for the live chicks and abandon the others. (a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) Do you have a plan for that probability?

And if I may ask, what is mixed corn grit?

Hello the timing was accidental my plan was to put the other eggs under my other broody hen so they will all hatch on time and the Mixed corn is wheat and corn and the grit is on the ground

If you really feel the hatchlings are looking for a meal, you can also scramble some eggs for them.

Ah ok I’ll try that

I break pellets up with a rolling pin if I need to until I can get crumble.

Thankyou I will do

Oh, sorry. I thought mixed corn grit was a single thing I had never heard of.
