1 male quail 9 female quail

I just read the nutrition information on that, and it is completely inadequate for quail. Protein, lysine, mehtionine, and calcium are all low.
This will give you an idea of what you're looking for:

So I have a backup meat feed called naturewise meatbird crumble that I will feed them for now until I go buy more feed. It has a 22% protein, 1% lysine, 0.37% methionine, 2.5% fat. It's slightly low since my quails are adults.
So I attached photos of what I plan to buy, the guide you sent says 20-24% so is 28% high for my pretty grown quail (I bought them from craigslist so idk how old they are exactly but they are fully grown and chunky girls)

I usually start transitioning my birds to adult feed when they're 10-12 weeks old.
 
It's exactly what I feed my quail.
You usually butcher them all at about 12-18 months, though, don't you? I know they can survive on that feed, but I don't think they thrive.

That being said, while there are plenty of wrong ways to raise quail, there are also a lot of right ways.
