I have a large sand box in with my birds and one strange A&M. I went out last night and she had pulled all the eggs under her ( what would fit ) and she was pecking at everything around her. She made what I could best describe as chicken noises, and I had to move her to get the eggs...

Is this broody behavior or another weird A&M thing? This is the first time I have seen her do anything like this yet. I know the pot gets stirred everytime someone claims to have a broody quail, I am just wondering if this is what people are talking about.

That could be coturnix broody, but don't count on it.
Please don't hide under a chair, but when anyone says (My chickens) and (My quail) in the same sentence...they probably don't know anything about Quail. Any species of quail are a phylum, genius, and species different from CHICKENS.

What people call A&M (coturnix) are just big fat white coturnix. Nothing more
