I got to try a quail egg last night (they just started laying and i've been saving for cupcakes but i cracked it on accident so i just cooked it up real quick) and HOLY COW THEY ARE AMAZING. They love chasing the crickets and roaches! I put the bugs in a deep, wide dish (tupperware casserole-type) to prevent escapes. This gives the birds some enrichment as well.

I supplement once or twice a week with small mealworms, crickets, or feeder cockroaches. Hancock Seed is dedicated to helping you find the best seed for your project. They also get daily greens: wheat grass, spinach, kale, and/or spring mix, depending on what i have on hand. I use a 60/40 mix of Harrison's organic bird food High Potency formula and wild quail seed, another dish of egg food supplement mixed with high-protein supplement powder (Oregon Feeder Insects' Ova Musca) and dried insects, and a third dish just for ground oyster shell. I live in an urban area where even the feed stores carry mostly dog and cat stuff, so i had to improvise a diet for my quail and i wasn't able to do as much research as i would have liked because the quail were already in hand when i discovered the processed feed = stink correlation. If you can find a good soy-free, all-natural gamebird starter i suggest that. Like, "gagging on the car ride home with the windows down" stinky. cage, this gives you an available space for up to 8 quail Allowing 1 sq.
Regular gamebird starter/layer foods will result in VERY stinky birds. For egg laying and breeding it is recommended to provide a space of 1 sq. Quail have high protein requirements (25-30%) so it can be a challenge giving them enough protein while also combating smelly poo.
