What do you use as Quail Starter Feed?

[TumbleGrump]

Based in Maury County, Columbia.

Purina Startena crumbles here for about first six weeks. Then I start mixing it with a lower protein starter, they don't like switching feeds instantly.

About 8 week mark start getting them on a layer crumble for the calcium, fiber, and other nutrients they need to support egg laying.

I looked into ordering feed online but the shipping was obscene. Do you have any feed stores in your area?

Also which variety of quail and how many are you trying to do?

My son build a diy incubator and yes online prices are insane.

Purina Game Bird and Turkey Starter. 50# for $22.49
Feed this for 8 weeks or until the hens start laying.

Local feed store stocks it but will order anything from their suppliers. I'll order the flock raiser for broilers.

I have no idea the type of Quail, they are a mix of pure breed and color breed. lol
Just want to make sure that his dad has his back in case they all work out. The incubator was made in a tupperware type of a storage bin with lamps and a pull it with rope redneck egg turner.
