Protein sources

[Alwayswantchics]

The feed stores near me don't carry feed that has more then 20% protein. What can I feed my quails, turkeys to increase the protein in their diets?

Soybeans are the cheapest and most abundant way to increase the protein. It's about 40%. You can toss out soybean chips or flakes as a scratch or mix in soybean meal. If you can get brewery grains (leftover mash from beer brewing) it has decent protein at about 27%. Flax seeds are about 30%. Any nuts or seeds are going to be 30% and higher. Cat kibble is about 35% (my chickens get a handful now and then when their feathers need some help)
