If the right conditions are met, all will do this.

Pictures of your set up will help us guide you in the right direction.

Isolation and natural settings are key with any bird, including BW's.

I have some of the larger Bobwhites and they do it readily and they are in a wire cage with 75 others, but as Reeves and CH  said it is better with a natural setting especially after they hatch..
