Broody bobwhite male?

[crash0330]

Well my bobwhites just started laying last week but the past few days everytime i come back from work I find a male sitting on the eggs, if the females lay on two places the male sits in some for a while and then he switches, I dont know if hes gone broody ( I dont even know if thats posible) but before I would get close to their coop and they will all scatter, but now he just sits there on the nest till I touch him is when he moves, Could he be broody?

Stranger things have happened... There's a lady on here that has a male ringneck that not only broods but sucessfully hatches eggs... Like they say its a mixed up jumbled up shook up world....

I just went out to ckeck right now and theres one quail sitting on the eggs, I couldnt tell if it was a male or a female tho, YAY

well maybe to early to celebrate but hopefully, all of the other quails sleep outside the coop exept that one cuz shes sitting on the eggs!!!!!!!

its possible. last year my bobwhites hatched 12 chicks, and right now he's sitting on them again. I have large coops though, really natural, and they made there own nest. however, its really rare
