Yes. And it is a specific breed of quails bred for this. Similar to how domesticated cows in the US are dumber than the ones roaming around India.

Except, even the specific breed of quail for meat still needs time to run and scratch and 'be a quail'.

It's more akin to goats than cows. They're domesticated, absolutely. But they still want to get up to something; they're not content to sit in a box and eat all day.
