Johnston & Jeff Quail Mix 12.75kg — Species-Specific Feed for All Quail Varieties

Johnston & Jeff Quail Mix is a specially developed species-specific feed for quail. While quail will feed from standard seed mixes in mixed aviaries, they thrive on a higher-protein, species-specific diet. This blend uses smaller, softer seeds combined with pinhead oatmeal and high-protein chick crumbs to provide the precise nutrition that quail need. Suitable for all quail varieties including Chinese Painted, Japanese Coturnix and the larger US varieties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do quail need a species-specific mix?
Quail are ground-feeding birds with a preference for smaller, softer seeds and a higher protein requirement than many cage birds. A species-specific mix with pinhead oatmeal and chick crumbs provides the elevated protein and appropriate seed sizes that quail need to thrive.

Is this suitable for button quail (Chinese Painted Quail)?
Yes — Johnston & Jeff Quail Mix is suitable for Chinese Painted Quail (button quail), Japanese Coturnix quail and the larger US quail varieties.
