Thank you Keith . Id like to think its genetics as they have never really spent any time in a dirty or wet environment . Ive never seen them pulling feathers but who knows what's going on when I'm not there to see . They were fed a 30 % protein game bird feed for the first 8-9 weeks then gradually switched over to a mix of the 30% and a 16% poultry laying crumble . Ive hatched out about 100 or so of their offspring and some are showing the same feather curling though the majority are not .

You're welcome. I feed all my quail a 16% layer ration at all ages. The very high protein level you are feeding could be an issue.
