Hello everyone, I am new to quails and have 5 jumbo Egyptians that are 4.5weeks old. I feather sexed them and think I have 4 hens and 1 roo. Can anyone confirm? I feed them gambird starter %30 protein, they just finished their corid treatment for coccidiosis. They’re eating, drinking and are still active. My question is are these droppings normal? Their poop went back to normal except today i saw this dropping that looked more like fecal droppings? I need some guidance from you all, thanks for the help!

You don't want to change their feed to adult feed until they are 10-12 weeks old. At this age, the 30% protein is still what they need.

That looks like cecal poop, and perfectly normal. If ALL of their poop looks like that, there's a problem, but some of them are supposed to looks like that.
 
Perfect, thank you all! I’ll keep monitoring their droppings for any changes and keep their food the same.
