Any hope for Northern Bobwhite to brood?

[DaniDuckDuchess]

Just wondering if anybody on this lovely site would happen to know if it's possible to create an environment for a quail hen to brood?

I only have buttons, those seem to be relatively easy to get to brood. But I've been reading a lot about quail, both here and on other forums, and the few instances of broody non-buttons I've read about seems to have had rather large cages or aviaries. I remember reading a long story about a single pair of bobwhites living in a greenhouse. They hatched chickens three years in a row, but the first 2 years all chicks died. Then the owners got some advice from an experienced quail breeder who thought the greenhouse was too moist for the chicks and advised them to get some specific brand of bedding to keep it dry - the 3. year the chicks survived
A large cage, good places to hide, not too many disturbances, don't collect eggs too often, keep it dry - and probably just one hen for one roo, would be my guess of such an environment.
