Quail layer feed

Just feed them Purina Mills Game Bird Starter 30% protein.

I grind up for a few days and put it on the floor, but keep the feeder full of straight out of the bag crumbles. Some people wet it and make a mash, but I find that messy.
Coturnix chicks don't usually have a hard time feeding.

Quail have an off season?

Maybe this is a silly question, but is there an organic game bird feed out there anywhere?

It's pretty pricey.

Can't disagree.
Absolutely no starve outs with coturnix.

I grind for a few days because I'm paranoid. The game chick feeder gets the pits and valleys from day one.
