Female quails have been known to participate in "egg dumping".
Picture from Tall Timbers
Egg dumping is where a female quail lays eggs in a nest other than it's own. This is why sometimes you'll find a quail's nest with upwards of 25 eggs in it. Typically a clutch (group of quail eggs) varies in size between 10 and 20 eggs.
