Grinding Your Own Quail Feed

0708WheatGrinder.jpg

I got this old wheat grinder for making my own quail feed. I have a custom feed producer close by that mixes great feed but he can’t chop it fine enough for the baby quail chicks. So I take the feed and run it throug the grinder to make a finer feed for the first few weeks. After 3-4 weeks the quail can transition to the heavier feed that I am feeding to the pheasant chicks. It’s hard to grasp how much smaller the quail chicks are compared to the pheasant chicks. I am looking for recipes on grinding my own feed from scratch.

    Any updates on finding a recipe on grinding my own feed from scratch?

    I am looking to do the same, specifically since I have a small flock I would like to “grow my own”, cutting out the middle man.
