Very South Texas
My usual feed is on back order so I had to run to TSC to get something and all they had was Purina. This is day two on the new feed and the smell is overwhelming! Kind of like rotting garbage, but not quite. Chicks will be a week old on Tuesday, never had this type of smell issue before. What the heck is in this feed that would make such a big difference?

No experience with Purina for Quail, I generally dislike them as a company so I try to avoid them. However, my southern states starter is very smelly compared to my Hudson feeds pellets. I feed the inside quail Hudson feed even tho it’s more costly. One of my original double silvers did far better on hudson feed, and I noticed the difference in smell, so even since she’s passed I’ve kept feeding the 4 inside quail the better smelling feed. I think it’s some kind of plant or vegetable product in the southern states, it smells like rotting veggies when it’s wet.

Yes, rotting veggies is accurate. I wet the feed to make a mash for the first couple weeks. I may be moving everyone outside soon, the smell is not fun! Modesto Milling I'd my favorite feed, no smelly poop at all. I'll have to look into what your using if I can't get more soon.

The Hudson feed is on chewy.com it’s like $30-32 for 50 lbs, not great but not bad for shipped feed. I buy 2 bags at once to get free shipping.
