One of my quail babies is only one day old and is not moving. It just keeps on rolling on its side because its not stable. It also seems to have laboured breathing, but its hard to tell. When I put it up to my ear to hear it was making a popping sound. I tried to give it water to drink and food to eat but it didn't want to. There are only 3 quails in the box under the heat lamp because of a heating problem with the incubator causing onl some to survive. The other quail that was born at the same time as the floppy one (the 3rd quail has hatched more recently) is fine and running around cheeping.
 
It sounds like there might be internal issues. If that is the case there is nothing you can do and it's your call if you want to see if he'll make it or put him down.
