Is it too early?

Hi! I was wondering if my 11-day old Coturnix quail should have a dust bath. I see them rolling around and fluffing up in their bedding and in dust from their food. I was also wondering if they like dust bathing and they don't only need it to make sure they don't have mites. Could this be a sign that they have mites? They have never been outside.

I think it's just instinctual.
