Janty Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I would like to hatch some quail next but before I do I was wondering what people feed newly hatched quail. Do you feed them ordinary chick crumb or turkey crumb as it's higher in protein? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyjulian Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Ours had ordinary chick crumb for 2 weeks, then growers pellets for another few weeks, and are now on the normal layers' pellets and are junkies for mealworms. They look normal sized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Turkey crumb They're game birds, so need a higher protein level. There are 2 comparison pictures on here (can't remember where) of Turkey V chick crumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
