yes, it looked like grease

Then it's most likely a normal cecal poop. They poop these out a couple times a day and can be variety of colors. Just keep an eye on things, especially poop. It can tell you a lot about the birds health.

An article on quail poop would be helpful if anyone is interested in doing one, this has been enlightening.

no one has died so far, the poop is just gray, no other symptoms. it was because of their diet, i fed them more bugs and now the black and white are seperate

You might put some probiotics in their water for a few days, get some good bacteria circulating around the intestines.

Sometimes it's because they need a vitamin supplement, like vitamin E...

X2! Selenium and Bs also help the bird respond very well when they have Wry neck. Get some Poly Vi Sol (without the iron) and give the chick 2 drops once orally daily for a few weeks. Scrambled eggs contain good amounts of Selenium, E and B vitamins. A tablespoon full 2 times a day will help along with vitamins. Clean up what they don't eat when feeding eggs, they can grow bacteria laying around the brooder.
