Quail chicks are very skittish. They may have run away and hid somewhere. I usually wait 8 weeks in the brooder before putting them in the pen because they will squeeze out through the tiniest hole, let alone the chicken wire.
I haven't seen it with my turkeys yet, but I did see one of my quail mount a pheasant hen.
He couldn't reach what he was aiming for, but he tried like hell.
