Yep, pasty butt! Not that common in quail, see it more in chickens than any other bird.

What temperature is your brooder?
Too hot can be deadly in more ways than one.

I don't know how hot it is but how do I treat pasty butt?

Warm water and clean it's little butt. Sometimes if I need any soap I use baby shampoo. This is what I do with chicks that get it.

I let warm sink water run over their butt & gently rub the dried poopy feathers until it washes off. Then I towel dry & use a low heat & low fan speed setting on a blow dryer to dry the bird. I check baby chick butts at least 2 times a day. I’ve had less problems with pasty butt since I stopped using a heat lamp & started using the Mama’s heating pad. (Can u use the heating pad with quail?) Make sure your birds have plenty of cool water & or electrolytes available at all times. I like using the puppy pads instead of pine shavings that can get in the water. I sure hope your little guys are better!

Warm water.
Please get a thermometer and see exactly how hot is in in there.
