So, I have this one (Coturnix) quail who's been acting somewhat sickly over the past few days? She (or he, I get them mixed up somewhat frequently) has been kind of hanging out away from the others in the corner, with their feathers puffed up, and their head hidden. When I go to pick her up she is calm doesn't even fight me, which is unusual because she's never just let me do that. Around her eyelids are a little bit swollen and puffy. And when I set her back down a few minutes ago after looking her over checking for any obvious injuries she just laid there on her side. A little bit before then she had been lying on her back while the others ate.

I currently have her in a box in one of the bathrooms with some food and fresh water. It was the best I could come up with in the moment.

Does anyone have any advice or tips as to what this could be?
