No corn or soy???

Hey all... is it possible to raise quail on a corn free feed? I mean, wild quail don’t really need it or get it, but I’m wondering if there are any commercial brands that would be okay for game birds.

Let me look for you...to see if I can find a high protein feed with no corn.

Are you familiar with Excel or Google sheets?

Ifso...look here...notice the tabs at the bottom.
Choose the 'meat and game feed' tab.
All (most) of line 4 has direct links to manufacturers websites.

There will be corn in this. When they don't list the actual plant or grain you can be sure they are using the least expensive, easiest to source material. Which will include corn.

I’m inclined to think there might be corn in this, since it doesn’t specifically say Corn Free... boy the no soy is awesome!

I actually did a deep dive and found a small company in Oregon that makes one!!! It’s only seasonally milled/available, but that’s fine!

That’s what I was thinking too. But I think I found a good one, made in Oregon(which is awesome since I’m in WA). Www.unionpoint.com

I was given a bag of a friend's feed she got for her ducks. She spent months sourcing one with no soy, corn, gmo. Finally got a mill to make her a custom blend. In the bag is big chunks of corn . I make my living in small animal (dog and cat mostly) nutrition so I'm well aware of the challenges of sourcing honest, transparent, healthy foods. And even with my decades of having seen it on the companion animal side I was shocked with the lack of information and transparency there is in feeds. Another friend had an old seed machine to mill your own, they are going to give it to us to fix up and I'll be able to finally make my own gamebird feed

I would love to find a corn-free, soy-free feed for my birds, but it's hard enough to find normal feed here.
