In this bonus episode of The Poultry Keepers Podcast, host Rip Stalvey breaks down what it really takes to feed your quail for success at every life stage. From the high-protein, high-fat needs of newly hatched chicks to the adjusted calcium and vitamin requirements of breeders, this episode covers the full nutritional roadmap for small flock quail keepers. Based on insights from Jeff Mattocks’ “Quail Nutrition 101” presentation and his book Niche Poultry: Feeding and Management, you'll get practical, science-backed advice on how to feed quail for optimal growth, egg production, and chick viability. 

Learn what to feed, when to make diet changes, and how to avoid common mistakes that can waste feed, hurt performance, or reduce hatch rates. Whether you're raising Coturnix quail for meat, eggs, or hatching stock, this episode is your complete feeding guide.
