Instructions: Game Bird Feeder (Plastic)
When first hatched out your quail chicks have not learned to look for food, therefore, they must be taught to eat. The best method is to place paper towels or G.Q.F's NO. 1628 paper on the floor of the brooder. Put the # 5003 Game Bird Feeder in the center of the paper and sprinkle feed all around the feeder. This makes feed readily available and as they run over it, the feed kicked up by their feet causes them to peck at it. The paper towels absorb any moisture from the droppings. The 1628 paper will also deoderize and kill bacteria as well as absorb moisture.
After a week the paper towels are removed as the birds have learned that feed is available at the feeder. This Game Bird Feeder is suitable for all ages of birds. Design of this feeder is on a continuous flow basis so, therefore, the oldest feed is eaten first. The narrow feed trough practically eliminates the possibility of dropping in the feed, resulting in healthier and more active birds with fewer losses.
