Please help my sick quail!

Have you checked their butts yet?
To see if they have dried poop stuck to it?

Do you have the bag of feed?
Can you take a picture of it?
I just looked but they don't have poo butts. I'm attaching the food bag. I use a coffee grinder with this to make it small enough for them.

One of mine is acting very similarly right now. She's an auracauna chicken, much younger (under a week), but she's been droopy, lethargic, not walking well and doesn't seem to want to eat or drink. Considering it's four of yours I think it's a good idea to keep them seperate! Mine took warm sugar water from a spoon while I was holding her and it seemed like it helped a bit. She's also been drinking if I dip her beak in their waterer and she'll peck food off the ground where the others have scraped it- maybe try giving them food in front of them rather than a tin or feeder? It's not the most sanitary for them, I know, but hopefully it'll at least get them to eat something. I'm trying to figure out what it is- if I find anything I'll be sure to come back and let you know. I really hope yours pull through!
Thank you, yours too. A few of them took wet food from a syringe... They're just not moving around at all.

Unfortunately I don't think these four quail are going to make it.
They look like they are in bad shape right now but I don't know what's causing it. I was hoping they were too hot but it doesn't seem so.

The other quail.... Can you go sit and watch them and get a picture of some fresh poop?
 
Following. Hope you get it figured out....

I wonder if putting some electrolytes in their water would help, if you have some already. I don't think it will correct the problem but maybe will give them a little more life.
