Can you eat quail eggs after the date on the carton?

Consistently refrigerated and ten days past is very likely fine. The dates on cartons are mostly best by or sell by, which is a quality judgement rather than a safety cutoff, and what declines first is how well the white holds its shape.

Two tests, in this order. Float them: sinks and lies flat is fresh, sinks but stands on end is older and worth cooking through, floats means a big air cell and most people bin those. Then crack each one into a separate small bowl, because the float test tells you age and your nose tells you the rest.
