A Guide To Quail Supplies

Hello, I am Nino Castellano from welwynquail.com and today I am going to talk to you about quails. There is a number of quail supplies that provide you a number of feeds.

The best of it that you can find on the market are pellets. They are ideally for quails, you need to gain pellets but in failing so, you're going to get chicken pellets that you can get from any pet supplier or farm shop or any other seed merchants. Unfortunately, the difference between doing the gain pellets and the chicken pellets is the protein contents and the quails need quite a lot of protein contents because they grow very quickly.

Usually the coturnix, within 6 weeks, start laying eggs, so therefore we have to provide them with feeder that contains enough mineral and proteins so that within 6 weeks, the quail is form mature and for that, I use gain pellets made from a local supplier. These pellets, they contain a part of wheat, mineral, some great but different other minerals, it's a complete feed for the quail. If you feed pellets, you cannot feed anything else because it's a complete feed to make the quail grow healthy and fast.

In addition to buying your birds, I give them apples and other sort of fruit. And one more important thing is that every two weeks, I clean the aviary and usually I use sawdust, as you can see, I got here pieces of snowflake that keeps clean and dry the bottom of the aviary. If you cannot find locally these pellets, sometimes on Ebay, you can find the people who sells pellets on Ebay, else and that is very important, in the first hatchlings, you have to use crumbs and again I would advise gain crumbs.

But in filling game crumbs, you can always use turkey or duck crumbs. They've got more proteins than the normal chicken crumbs. In filling it, you can use chicken crumbs and usually in the first week of their life, I give them some sort of vitamins to keep them healthy.

And if there are too many in a brooder, sometimes I give terramycin to make sure that they are not to get infected from their own feces. For my rare breeds of quail, these are generally for quails that have not been able to eat by themselves and I have to teach them how to eat. This is a very fine processed food that has got lots of minerals and other goodness in it to make them grow weekly. .
