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.
