I have 3-5 week old butler bobwhite quails. This is my first batch I have ever hatched and pretty much dont know anything about them. I have the proper chick feed and stuff but when do I start feeding them adult food. Also, I am releasing them into the wild at some point. (once they are old enough, i already know that info)
 
The feeding schedule should be printed on the feed bag.
Bobwhite chicks need to be on a gamebird starter (about 28% protein) till about 6 weeks and then flock raiser till they start laying, then a layer feed till they stop laying for the season. Then switch back to flock raiser or a lower protein game bird maintenance feed till they lay again.
