will button quail go broody?

[cresent moon poultry]

I am about to hatch out button quail and am wondering if button quail will lay a clutch of eggs and sit on it

It doesn't happen very often, but button quail do occasionally go broody. it is best to separate the broody hen. My hen regularly attempted to hatch her eggs and the male would eat the chicks as they hatched.
