As far as I know, for all captive quail broodiness is a rare occurrence unless they are kept in a very natural environment. I have read about one pair of snowflake bobwhites that got chicks several years in a row. They were kept in a greenhouse. The first couple of years, the chicks kept dying - apparently because the greenhouse wasn't dry enough. The owners started using some special bedding to keep it dry.
