Captive quail have lost that ability to incubate their own eggs. They start from a collected egg, are put in an incubator, hatch to a big ol' human standing over them, food and water is provided in plastic bowls, etc... they just don't have those natural instincts anymore like the wild quail.

2 HARD AND FAST RULES TO QUAIL

#1 NEVER COMPARE NEW WORLD SPECES TO OLD WORLD SPECES= THE ANSWERS FOR EACH ARE USUALLY WRONG WHEN APPLIED TO THE OTHER
#2 NEVER COMPARE WILD TO CAPTIVE

EITHER THAT OR WHEN CAPTIVE THEY SIMPLY DONT WANNA PLAY THE GAME???

CASE IN POINT, MANY RESTOCKING PROGRAMS (ALLBEIT THE SUCCESS RATES ABSOLUTE SUCK, >2%) ARE PRODUCING A SUCESSFUL REGENERATING BIRDS. SO CAPTIVE DO KNOW HOW TO BROOD, BUT MORE LIKELY WONT IN CAPTIVITY
