I'm thinking about adding quail to the rest of our critters. I went to TSC this afternoon to get chick & rabbit feed. So I asked them if they had game bird feed and they don't carry it but they had Dumor chick feed that said quail on it. So my question is if this was a good feed and if this would be ok for baby quail as well?
Make special note of the protein levels. Your grow outs should be getting no less than 18% feed. Preferably 20%. Your breeders should be on 25-30% protein feed.
Keep in mind that a good female will lay an egg a day, they need the higher levels.

[edit] Also be sure to provide plenty of calicum sources. Soft shells otherwise.
