I keep reading mixed opinions on this, Can you or can't you use chick boxes (with filter) for Button Quail or does it have to be a Horizon box?

My Male Button has gone broody on chicks...Has this happened to anyone else?

I was thinking of putting sand in my run...Good idea or not? Why or why not?
