Feeding quail feed to chickens as treat?
« on: February 16, 2015, 09:05:35 am »
I have about 10 litres of quail feed (small seeds like millet) that is surplus.  I don't want to waste it so I am wondering whether it would be suitable to feed to chickens as a treat in addition to their usual layers pellets?  Any views out there?

Should be fine, quail feed is usually higher protein but they'll eat it quite happily  :thumbsup:

is it just a seed mix or a quail crumb/pellet?

Thanks for the reply - it's just a seed mix.
