If I wanted a breed of quail that would hatch out their own young, what breed would I need to look into?

If they lay this year (which they may not)....I say let the mothers do the hatching.  I use to let a muscovy hatch mandarin eggs and they do a great job.

If I were wanting to raise quail and wanted them to sit on and hatch their own eggs......How much space would I need fo 20 or so quail and which breed would be best suited for this? Thanks
