What is the best and most protein-rich commercially available food for Quails?

[St Marks Quail Farm]

I am currently using Marriages Layers Pellets. I was wondering what the best feed was available in the United Kingdom?

Is 20% protein good for Japanese Quail?

Thanks in advance

Game bird feed would be best for quail from my point of view. I have a local BATA feed/country shop near me that I purchase from ~ https://www.bataltd.co.uk/products/livestock/feeds-and-supplements/game

Maybe you have something similar in your area?

Thanks for the links but that protein content is roughly the same as the one I'm currently using. I am ideally looking for 20% protein content. I have been looking on Amazon UK and have been down to PetsatHome twice.

Look for turkey starter. My local feed store sells it... 30% protein.

Would that not be too much protein?

I'm not sure Turkey Starter would provide the correct nutritional balance required for Quail.

It does. That what a lot of us feed our quail in the US.

I feed my quail chicks a 30% game bird starter (I also feed it to my turkey poults)
