Good info, I see a lot of people saying they blend the crumble up a little more for the first week or so, maybe I’m just lazy but I just add a little water to the bottom of the feeder to soften the feed up and they chow down on it. Probably helps them stay hydrated too. It’s always worked for me :)

@ParagonRidgeRanch 3 года назад

Great information!! Thank you so much!! Do you have to take them off of the 30% and go to layer feed or can you keep them on the game bird? And, can they have pea and beans straight from the garden?

You can leave them on the high protien but they don't need it...yes peas and beans go for it!!

@JNoMooreNumbers 3 года назад

Ended up with 14 out of buying 25 each time. First time cats knocked incubator down and catastrophe for the eggs but now have 5 day old chicks. 14 and number 15 was too weak to even stand. Didn't make it more than a few hours. So hope to breed some before winter hits and increase numbers a bit. Got dividers in Wynola cages to even out males to females. Hopefully more females. Wynola looks pretty well made. Just cheap tubs for brooders and extra flat cat beds on the bottom. Chicken wire for the top to prevent escapees later. Read they like toys like cat balls. All set there.

@rickytorres9089 2 года назад

Interesting, I am considering them too but I am very limited on transportation so I were considering if there ways to be self sufficient on these for egg laying? Like I know you can "farm" worms (got european nightcrawlers as we speak), mealworms and so on for the protein. But are there other parts of the feeding that you can do yourself? I heard that they need the other 80% of their diet to be grains only since they are "granivores"?

@colonyhillshomestead4683 2 года назад

I also supplement with fodder but yes they are reliant on seeds/grains

@sandrasutherland55 Год назад

Do I need a layer food ? Or just a game bird food? My quail are just 8 weeks old.

@colonyhillshomestead4683 Год назад

A starter food is costing more than a layer feed. If your using game bird go with a layer feed.

@evasimons8822 Год назад

On the Purina bag of layer feed says do not feed to males. But if you have a 5 to 1 female to male ratio is it fine to feed the layer feed to these males?

Yes it’s absolutely fine!

Black sunflower seeds are large, can quail eat them without shelling them?

They will more than likely shell them. Black sunflower seeds have a thinner shell than striped. Great source of protein and fats

@mysticalcat713 9 месяцев назад

I just found your video while scrolling through. We bought our first quail chicks locally, and we have learned a lot about how important quality feed is for health and good egg production. We just ordered a batch of hatching eggs from Myshire Farm. They have been in the incubator for 7 days now. Just thought I would touch base with you because we live in Anderson County as well. We moved out here from the Dallas area about 2 years ago. We started with chickens and Nigerian Dwarf goats. And have since added KuneKune pigs and Quail.
