They are bred to lay eggs, not to go broody.
The little birds need heat and when the mothers never sat on the eggs, they will not sit on the chicks, either.
However, if I get a good chicken next year, perhaps I can make it sit on some quail eggs and have her raise the chicks later.

Sounds pretty cool.
