A baby Gambel's quail (VERY small) ended up on our back porch. He hid under a planter and remained there for one day without a parent showing up. What can we feed him? He doesn't seem to eat the tiny songbird seed I bought for him. if you 100% that he is on his own i would take it in and put it under some sort of light of in a very worm room try and keep the temperature around 35 degrees. try and give him so chick stater and tape it with your hand, because his mum would do that to show him the food. or some mini meal worms. and put some sugar in look warm water for the little guy, had hope for the best. i have done this with one that a found and is still alive today. all the best George.
Yes, quail can eat chick starter. You can also feed them Turkey Starter or there is actually a Quail Starter feed out there I think. They also eat bits of egg yolk, live crickets and flies as well.
This morning the quail and her chicks walked across the dirt road.
I don't now?
Chicks hatch and know instinctively what to eat. Brood hens do not teach or feed the chicks.
No, but she can hear and call to them towards the end of incubation.
Put food in its mouth

Gamblel's quail eat a variety of things. They need a diet high in protein. I feed my quail game bird feed and quail seed as their main diet. I also raise crickets to feed them which they eat a lot of. They like a variety of fruits and vegtables. Try broccoli. My quail actually call to me when they are looking for a cricket meal. Now and then I give them meal worms as a treat.
