This one only has 21% protein and is quite low on the methionine. If you can cancel this, you should and keep looking for something better.

Thank u! This is so interesting, i didnt know can use fish / kitten food, will definitely check this out

It is not the perfect feed for any kind of bird, but in a pinch it definitely can provide some protein.

Actual quail feed, with the right amount of protein, would definitely be better, so I am happy to see that you did find a source

While 21% protein is not the best for quail chicks, it's better than the others you were looking at....you could increase the protein by adding cat food kibble or fish meal, the Lysine and Methionine are low but not much you can do about that, unless you have access, can purchase those amino acids.
They will grow on the lower protein, just slower. The low percentage amino acids will affect their muscle, skeletal, and feather development as well, it's not optimum for the best development.

I understand. Singapore is basically one big island city/country. Not a lot of space for livestock.

I found this on Amazon's Singapore site.

It says not available, but you might be able to find an online source.

This feed has alot of 'filler' in it. It too, is lacking in adequate amino acids....I've been harping upon that issue for quite a few years now, manufacturers are cutting 'costs' at the 'expense' of our birds. There also appears to be a large percentage of corn in this product.
