I think your best bet is the 21% unmed. chick starter

With the 21% you can give them hard boiled egg to up the protein a bit. I think they will be fine if that is all you have available.

I appologize I should have read your post before reading others.

I have ALWAYS used Purina Flock Raiser for my quail chicks...only ONCE have I had problems. This past summer I had a few with weak legs so I switched them to purina gamebird starter and they perked right up. Other than these, the only things I've noticed is the time it takes them to get to 'full' size. The very first jumbos I had were huge, at least 14 ounces as adults, and I raised them on 20% flock raiser from the time they were chicks. If anything it just took them a while to grow cause I doubt they would have been much bigger than that.

About the only time I use GBS (28% protein) is during laying season when the eggs are selling good...it really kicks their laying into high gear!
