John ~ Like Motorcycle Chick said try some mash. That is what saved my Broke Beaks life. She was so small compared to the rest and was constantly at the feeder trying to get some grain in her mouth, I mean she lived at the feeder, LOL Poor thing was starving...I found this site and it literally saved her. Now she has plumped out nicely. She is so sweet and is always talking to us. Of course the minute the door opens she runs from wherever she is in the backyard looking for treats. I give her mushed bananas, oatmeal, peanut butter in with her regular food and some water to make it where she can get it up with her tongue. Every once in awhile I give her some greek yogurt but not too much dairy. I know a lot of people who give theirs scrambled eggs, it seems weird to give a chicken eggs to eat but so many do it. I have always wondered if that would give them a desire to eat their own eggs and haven't done it but once. I am probably over thinking this, haha.I have a crossbeak quail antwerp pardin my spelling but i dont know what to do with him. Its hard for him to eat and he's very nice
All in all just take this as a chance to dote on your quail and develop that special relationship with one of God's creation and just be their for him/her. Enjoy and to BYC!!!
