I have young quail in my pen and I have been seeing a few what look like long tail feathers in the pen. The birds are all healthy looking and have plenty of food and water. Is this part of matureing or do I have a future problem brewing?

Could be molting, could be problems.

How do I know the difference? I tend to think they are molting since everyone looks healthy as butterballs ,eating well and drinking. Not many feathers just look like long tail like feathers. Other than that all looks well.
