Transition to Game Bird Layer Feed (6+ Weeks)

5
  1. Solution: Switch laying hens to a commercial game bird layer feed with 20-24% protein around 6 weeks of age.
  2. Explanation: Once quails reach sexual maturity, their protein needs decrease slightly, but they require adequate calcium for eggshell formation. Game bird layer feeds are formulated for this purpose. Some high-protein (20%+) chicken layer feeds can be used, but game bird specific is often better.
  3. Notes: Introduce new feed gradually over several days. Provide supplemental calcium.
