Month Old Quail Are Dying!

There is no treatment for Aspergillosis, only prevention. Clean bedding, a strict sanitation regime will help in controlling the fungus and spore development.
No, it is not normal for them to lay on their side like in the picture, unless they are 'dust bathing'.

It could also be Infectious Coryza, here again, there is really no effective treatment, Eyrthromycin or Oxytetracycline may be administered to help relive symptoms. Once infected with IC and if the bird recovers, it will be a carrier for the rest of it's life.

Symptoms are nasal discharge, swollen face, eyes, and swelling of the infraorbital sinuses. They may also have diarrhea and a decrease in consumption of feed and water.

This having been said, I still think it's Aspergillosis.
Ok, I got them into a larger pen and will start cleaning out their cage daily
 
Hay and straw get too nasty too quick with quail.

Dirt...good old dirt works for cages.
I use peat moss in my cages.
