I have actually said that to my remaining Godson. The kid is 23 years old and he does nothing but sit on the couch and watch YouTube on the TV or his phone. He'll do things if you specifically tell him to, but otherwise is content to let his mom wait on him hand and foot.
He's full of ideas...
How are the chicks doing? To be honest, I don't think they have a good chance. If they're not doing better by this morning, I would cull. They're not going to be able to eat or drink on their own if they can't get their feet under them.
This has always been a peeve of mine. Winged horses are not all Pegasus. Pegasus was the name of the winged stallion that came from a drop of Medusa's blood. The one thing of beauty among all of the venomous insects, snakes and poisonous creatures that came from the rest of her blood.

That's what I was afraid of. It sounds like an albino. If it is not already blind, it probably will be soon. You might be able to delay the loss of sight by keeping it in dim lighting, but I have yet to have an albino that didn't need to be culled.
It's good that the eyes aren't bulgy since...
I can't say that I've ever hand fed a quail or conversed with anyone who has. The usual method is to try to tempt the bird with particularly tasty treats. I would try some Nutri-Drench in water and give her that by dropper every couple hours. I usually offer it until they refuse to take...
They can live 3-5 years, but they usually start declining in fertility and egg laying at about 2 years. Male fertility usually starts to drop at about 18 months.
I thinned out my carrots yesterday and cooked the greens (and tiny roots) into some fried rice. Waste not, want not, right? Also the first thing that I've gotten to eat out of my garden this year.
