Hey everybody! I’ve been feeding my courturnix quail chicks starter grow 30% protein. I’m not sure how old they are and I’m wondering if they’re old enough to introduce to my adult quails and feed them game bird maintenance feed. Or are they still too young? Thank you

They look to be feathered out, so I don't think it would hurt to switch them over on the feed but I'd be careful about introducing them to the older birds.
I have a coop that has about 8 female quails. I took the males out. Will the females attack the younger ones?
 
If you can rearrange the pen with the adults in there and make sure there are plenty of hiding places, there is a better chance of them getting along, but as @007Sean said, you need to watch them closely for aggression.
