4 QUAIL FEEDS

We produce complete balanced feeds formulated specifically for the different stages of the Coturnix coturnix life cycle

28% Protein BYF Quail Starter Feed — $3.95/kg
Hatch to 21 days

26% Protein BYF Quail Grower Feed — $3.30/kg

22% Protein BYF Quail Layer Feed — $2.90/kg
For mature laying birds

Quail Layer Feed Concentrate — 55% protein — $13.00 per 900g

The 55% protein concentrate contains protein, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and other nutritional components required in a complete quail layer diet

Mix 900g of Quail Layer Feed Concentrate with 10kg of locally available chicken layer feed

The resulting mixture is designed to provide a feed as close as possible to a balanced and complete Coturnix coturnix layer feed, while allowing customers in areas where freight costs are high to source the bulk of their feed locally

Our feeds are formulated with the nutritional requirements of quails in mind rather than treating quails simply as small pheasants or other game birds

5 DAY-OLD TO MATURE QUAILS

For customers who prefer to raise their own birds, we can supply Coturnix coturnix quails from day old through to maturity

Day-old quail — $9.00 each

The price increases by $0.50 per day for each additional day of age

Day 2 — $9.50
Day 3 — $10.00
and so on

The price reaches $30.00 per bird at 43 days of age

Because these young birds are sold before they can be reliably sexed, all birds are sold unsexed

DAY-OLD QUAILS ARE AVAILABLE FOR COLLECTION FROM BACK YARD FARMER IN DUNEDIN ONLY

There are currently no suitable courier services available that can provide the warmth required to transport day-old quails safely
