Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Rub 6 quail with salt and pepper.  Wrap the quail with bacon, and use toothpicks to hold in place.  Bake in greased dish until brown.  Reduce heat to 325 degrees.  Pour in 1 pint of cream, and baste birds until cream thickens.  Add 2 tbs of sherry (total cook time is approximately 2 hours).
