I've got 3 hatched quails and it's been about 20hrs I cannot get them to eat or drink, I've tried putting them when the mother but she doesn't seem to keen on them and just ignores them and she even went to peck one but stopped her before she could and got them away from her.

I'm worried about them cause they look hungry and keep vocalizing louder when ever we move away

What are you trying to feed them? Looks like finch seed? That is totally inadequate for them they should have a feed ration that is complete and balanced and of at least 24% protein.

What is their setup like, can you post photos of their brooder? What is the temperature of the brooder at the chick's level?

They've started eating now just took a few training, I have pellets mixed with seed the pellets have plenty of protein for them and cut up so it can fit in their mouths!
