Bald baby button quail????

It might be from his feathers not fully developing in the egg or him hatching earlier than normal. However that's quite weird that that would happen. As long as he is eating, drinking and acting normal he should be fine.

No...he came out of the egg with a lil bald spot...1 of his hatch matches looks like she is missing feathers on her wings also...I couldn't tell when she 1st hatched because they are soo small...they don't have any bugs...I named him Mr. Magoo

I expect that the feathers just didn't finish developing in the egg. I have had some hatch with very little down on them and they ended up feathering out just fine. As long as they have plenty of protein in their feed and there isn't something wrong internally with this little one, in a few days I suspect you may not be able to tell it from the others.
Keep an eye on it just in case there is something wrong internally, but I wouldn't worry about it unless it doesn't feather up in a week or so.
