Day 44 The Feed

Quail need to have a minimum of 24% protein in there feed. 30% is better if you can find it. Laying chickens get around 16% for comparison.

We use a 24% game fowl starter/grower that I get at Ace Hardware. Tractor Supply also carries a chick starter that is 24%. Ace Hardware is $12.99 per 50lb bag and TS is 17.99 per 50lb bag.

100 quail go through about 50lbs per week.
