Why Most Quail Feeders Waste Feed — And How Ours Reduce It

Why Our Quail Feeders Waste Less Than Typical Quail Feeders

If you raise quail, you’ve probably accepted feed waste as “just part of it.”

It shouldn’t be.

Most quail keepers lose feed every single day because the feeder they’re using was never designed for Coturnix quail behavior. Over time, that wasted feed quietly becomes one of the biggest ongoing costs in a quail setup.

At 2B Creations, we design quail feeders differently — and it shows.


The Real Reason Most Quail Feeders Waste Feed

Most products sold as “quail feeders” fall into one of three categories:

  • Modified chicken feeders

  • Open trays or cups

  • Cheap ports with oversized openings

These designs all share the same problems:

  • Open access encourages scratching

  • Shallow lips let feed spill out easily

  • Oversized openings allow birds to flick feed unintentionally

  • Lightweight containers tip, shake, or vibrate

  • No system design — just a container with holes

The result? Feed ends up on the floor instead of in the bird.


Why Feed Waste Matters More Than You Think

Feed waste doesn’t look dramatic day to day — but it compounds fast.

Even a small amount of spilled feed per bird per day can turn into pounds of wasted feed every month, especially as your flock grows.

Cheap feeders feel inexpensive upfront, but they cost you repeatedly over time.


How 2B Creations Quail Feeders Reduce Waste

We design feeders based on how quail actually eat, not how chickens eat.

1. Controlled Access Openings

Our feeders limit how much of the bird’s body enters the feeding area.
Less movement means less feed thrown.

2. Proper Opening Size for Coturnix Quail

Coturnix quail don’t need large openings. Oversized holes cause feed flicking — our designs prioritize beak access, not feet.

3. Feed Containment by Design

Feed stays inside the container instead of spilling forward or out when birds shift or bump the feeder.

4. Stable Mounting Options

A feeder that moves wastes feed. Our systems are designed to stay put.

Why Systems Beat One-Off Feeders

Most sellers offer single products.
We build systems.

Our quail feeders are designed to:

  • Work together

  • Scale with your flock

  • Be expanded instead of replaced

  • Integrate into starter and upgrade kits

This saves money long-term and avoids constantly replacing gear that doesn’t work.


Designed, Tested, and Made in the USA

Every 2B Creations quail feeder is:

  • Designed specifically for quail

  • Tested in real quail pens

  • Manufactured in the USA

  • Shipped fast

We don’t dropship.
We don’t guess.
We don’t sell what we don’t use.


The Bottom Line

If you’re:

  • Sweeping feed daily

  • Refilling feeders constantly

  • Paying more for feed than you should

Then your feeder is the problem.

Our quail feeders waste less because they’re designed to.
