Please help? Newly hatched quail just sleeping

One of them is drinking for sure, not eating food yet.

I have one chick that is concerning me though.. i see one often actively chasing other chicks and pecking them and dragging them by the foot.. Do I need to separate it? :barnie I have an evil chick
That one sounds hungry, direct it to the food. Sometimes if you pick up a bit of food and drop it down a few times in a row or "peck" at food with your finger it helps them figured it out. It likely thinks toes are worms.
 
There is another chick that hatched and struggled to leave its shell and it has been occasionally moving but always lying on its side.. it's been about 2 hours since it came out. Anyone know what's wrong? Is it just weak?

Ah it passed away about 3 hours after it hatched..

It does happen, especially if they were shipped eggs.

Sometimes chicks simply fail to thrive. There's not much you can do about it, unfortunately.
 
I see.. :(

I had two more hatch out but one of them has the yolk sac still attached and it's dragging it around everywhere :th
Is there anything I can do to help it?
 
Okay thank you. Also is there any chance the sac can just detach? The cord attaching it to the sac seems like it's getting thinner
