Does it have a watery face?

What do you mean by watery face?

Like there is a disease for quail which makes their face pale, and look droopy

I think those "tremors" I was talking about are actually seizures. Do you know anything about seizures in quails??

Sorry, I know more about chickens than quail...if I were you I would repost your thread and tag a bunch of well known people. I know @Kiki owns quail too.

My week-old Coturnix quail is lethargic, not eating or drinking, unable to stand or walk, and spasms and twitches in his sleep! Yesterday, he was limping and the other quails kept pecking him, so we put him into a separate box. After that, he became really sleepy and refused to eat or drink. He also can't stand up anymore, and his wing feathers are separate. We are really really worried about him because he used to be the most energetic quail. We tried feeding him some vitamin water, but he only drank a few drops.

Please help!! I cannot lose him/her!

Does anyone know what disease/condition he has? Please help ASAP!!

He is probably dying. If he isn't eating you should end his suffering.

Did you hatch him?
If so where did the eggs come from?

Yes, I did hatch him. The eggs came from a local farm.

We left some food scattered around him, and sometimes after we force-feed him vitamin water he eats quite a lot of it. Other times he sleeps, and twitches when he wakes up.

Eating on his own is a good sign.

Can you get a video of him uploaded to YouTube?
