I had a quail chick just like this when it was born. It was super lethargic, enough to the point that it couldn't eat by itself. Try putting some sugar water on a spoon and dipping her beak into it. Do it often if possible. I did this many times over a few days and it started to gain energy. Chicks and quail chicks are mostly the same when young, so the same thing should apply. Also, I wouldn't recommend putting them with larger chicks since they might get trampled on. However, if there's a lot of space, then it might be okay.What about the one who keeps her eyes closed all the time? Her sister is alert with her eyes open, but she seems to almost always have her eyes closed. And is it ok to put them in with slightly larger chicks?
I think it's fine, but if you see the lethargic ones being attacked or stepped on, then I'd advise you to immediately move them to a separate area or put a divider. And I think 74 is alright, but if you're still worried, then maybe you can place a blanket on top of the cage(at least, if you're using one). If you have extra time, then maybe you can put some beans/rice in an old sock and microwave it to use it as a heat pack. Overall, weakness in chicks are fairly common, but give it your all!They aren't too much larger. I'm also worried about them getting too cold in my house. It's 74 degrees in here. But the brooder is warm and toasty.
