Quail with droopy wing, some swelling in joint

I would give her a couple of recovery days inside, then try the trick of pulling everyone out, rearranging, then put everyone back in, her first.

The only way to get her used to you is to spend time with her. Feeding her treats will help too.
 
Thanks, will do. I will probably wait till the heat wave breaks Tues/Weds and shovel out all the old bedding and replace it with the fresh bag I picked up the other day, and scrub out the inside. Been meaning to do it anyway since its been a month that they've been outside!

She looks LOADS better today, other than an eye swollen shut/gummy - she can see out of it though, I did check. Its nuts how quick they can recover, poor thing.

The rest of them are doing fine now that there's a fan on the coop keeping a steady breeze blowing through; I have been putting out frozen water bottles for them during the middle of the day.

I have noticed one or two of them look a little bare headed, not sure if the current male is doing it or if it's from before I pulled the other boys...
