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 :)

Milo micro greens are a good source

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.

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"?

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.
