Button Quail mix-up! Reply ASAP!

[TweetyNPetey]

So I have a baby Button Quail who was mistaken for a bantam chick. And I have never had a Quail before, so I have a question:

Do they need anything different from chicken chicks? Like any different food, care, ect.?

I also have a problem.
The woman at the hatchery gave him to us for free, since he kept getting trampled by the other chicks, so we tok him home. Now he just sits still in the brooder, not walking, and just sitting there, all wobbly. He will only drink if I dip his beak into the water, and I can't get him to eat. He seems very weak. Please help. I think I may be losing my baby Button Quail!

Ok well here is what you need to do, i don't know anything about quail or anything like that but if that chick is acting like that you need to try and perk it up. Get some save a chick put int he water, even sugar water, get him to drink it so he will get enough of a boost to actually eat. Call the lady back and find out what you can on the quail.
