So reading another post I saw they were running an extremely high protein level for life of the birds. I guess one thing is to determine how long is life. These birds can be culled between 8 and 10 weeks with no growth to be expected later.
I am fairly new to quail, less than 6 months but raised many chickens in my past so not new to birds.
I understand the high proteins up to 8 weeks for growth but after I switched to layer feed 17% protein I think. What benefit is there for feeding the higher cost higher protein feed to a mature bird?
Its not hatch rate as my incubator is full of live peeps...
