Start Right Non-GMO Turkey & Gamebird Feed
When my hens are ready to lay or about 8 weeks I move them to this lower protein feed. You shall not feed them more than this percentage otherwise the hens will suffer prolapse and it is just not good for them. You can also try them on 17-18%. It is ...

This is the lowest protein percentage you should feed your adult quail. You can try this or 22% one from Kalmbach. Both are great and Non-GMO. I do not trust Purina, and other's quality is not that great as Kalmbach.

Super cheap natural calcium supplement you can add for your laying quail (not Roos!) Quail shells can be super fragile so adding a bit calcium to their diet is very helpful. Super easy and they love it!
Manna Pro Crushed Oyster Shell Calcium 5 lb
I love this company and their products! I have several of these drinkers. They are so handy to put on the wire, especially if you need to move a sick bird somewhere else and need to provide drink and food. Easy to attach, have a choice of different spouts to try, hardy and I have had zero issues with these. Love them.
RentACoop 32oz Drinker + 2 Nipples for Small Birds
I bought at least 3 sets of these cups. WE HAVE THEM EVERYWHERE! They are attached to the water line for every cage ( We have about 120 quail now) and to little plastic bottles for localized drinking. Double cup has been helpful for cleaning, not perfect, but closest thing out there. I think my husband used tape to install those and we had no issues with leaking or breaking. At one point I will have to buy more and I am planning to repurchase.
Chicken Water Cup Waterer Kit for Poultry - 7 Pack
This is another drinker if you prefer this type of cup and not buying it in the set of several. All of these drinkers can be interchanged between themselves.
RentACoop 32oz Auto Drinker - BPA-Free Waterer for Small Birds
I added these cups to have handy when I need it. I use it for water, medicated water, feed, grit, oyster shells, veggies, fruits and whatever I might need them for. They are versatile, easy to attach and reattach. If I need an extra cup for something- I have it. I would suggest getting the largest pack-you never know when you are going to need more of them!
10pack Bird Feeder Waterer Food Bowl for Cage
I Have these feeders as well. Prefer them only for young chicks. When they get over 1 year old, they eat a lot and they get messy. These ones are great for that period. I do not use it for my oldest ones-I do not like them wasting too much feed!
4 Plastic Flip Top Small Poultry Feeder Red
We keep feed in this pails. They have a lid and they are food safe.
Leaktite 5 Gallon(s) BPA-Free Food-Grade Plastic General bucket

Safe and non toxic wound care. You will need this A LOT. Injuries happen all the time and this treatment is great.
Vetericyn Plus Poultry Care Spray 8oz
If you pecking and bald birds are getting you down, try this treatment. Quail are famous for pecking, so you might want to have this on hand.
Rooster Booster Pick No More, 4-Ounce
Poultry cell is a great pick me up for your birds who need extra help when they are sick or need extra nutritional help. You can give it to any age chick. I was giving it even to a new born chicks when they were born too weak or had problems eating.
Rooster Booster Poultry Cell, 16-Ounce (038-50401)
Wonderful vitamins for extra boost for your quail/chicks. Anytime when I feel something might not be right I give it to my quail. I also sometimes add it to my newborn's water just to boost their health potential right away. Also, I add this in the summer to the water when quail drinks a lot.

Getting ready to hatch your own quail chicks? This section has all the must-haves — from quail egg incubators to safe brooder setups to keep your chicks warm and safe. Whether you're raising Coturnix quail, Bobwhites, or just getting started, you'll ...
This is a wonderful incubator and it is very low cost. It fits tons of different size eggs, not only quail. I have had several hatches with it with no issues. All the chicks came out at the same time right on schedule. It keeps temperature and moisture well. It is a very popular incubator in my circles and you cannot beat the price.
MATICOOPX 30 Egg Incubator w/ Humidity & Turner
It is my second incubator. It holds less eggs than Maticoopx but it is just as reliable and performs just as well. My favorite part is how well and easy the moisture is regulated. Simple conveniences like pull out moisture drawer and handle on the dome are indispensable. Usually you are not thinking about little things, but those 2 have been life savers! Good value as well. Very reliable!
[2024 Upgrade] 25 Egg Incubator with Turner
If you don't have these yet-you are missing out. They are the best for little baby quail. I have several and I use them all the time until my babies go to their permanent cage. They can fit variety of small opening jars so I did not have to buy anything extra to make them work. I have never had a chick drown in this one, and baby quail is so tiny! They figure out how to drink out them super fast -easy peasy, no brainer choi...
Little Giant Quail Waterer Base
This is my ultimate brooder! I hatch my chicks at home and this one is great. I have about 6o chicks and it is just right for that amount or less. At 3 weeks they go into their permanent housing. It is pretty easy to clean, very safe, easy to move, e...
Full Cheeks™ Split-Level Rabbit Habitat - Includes Cage, Shelf, Ramp, Wheels, & Feeding Accs.
This feeder/drinker was an impulse buy, but I really liked the idea of having combo set up. And it is what is says it is. It is well made, performs flawlessly and has been pleasure to use. I use my other red little water bases for my young quail and ... It has a large capacity and for my 60 young quail it is plenty, although when they get older I have to refill it way more often! They are hungry little guys! It is the best for the littlest babies.
Lixit Baby Chick Feeder or Waterer (Pack of 1)
This is the most economical way for me to use shop towels as my bedding in my brooder
Scott Shop Blue Towels 9.4x11, 12 Rolls
I prefer to use this type of bulb for my chicks' brooder. I do not like clear bright bubs at all. As much as those guys eat, they need some sleep time! lol
HealSmart 100W Ceramic Heat Lamp 2-Pack
I have a couple of these. The brooder (I have it listed here) is large and the first week after hatch I use both-one at each side. In case some of them travel. Also, it is a good idea to have a second one for an emergency. The same thing applies to bulbs.
Producer''s Pride Chick Brooder Lamp, 6 ft. Cord, 250W
If you are going to hatch some chicks you will need these thermometers. You need to have one/two in each incubator and a couple in the brooder. It might be between life and death situation here. I have tried several different companies and this one came up on top. I have several of them, so I can compare.
AcuRite Wireless Indoor Thermometer & Hygrometer
Even though every incubator pretty much has a light to check the eggs, sometimes they are not that great or convenient to use. I use this one and it is great. Check your quail eggs at one week in incubator and before lockdown.
