Mated Button Quail still calling at night

I have 3 button quail, 2 of which are both females, he has mated with and still actively mates with my hen Cleo, but he is still calling? The two are inseparable, mate on a daily basis, several times a day, and he's still calling? Should I get another hen or will that just be ineffective?

What kind of setup do you have for the quail? Mine are not monogamous and they call all day long no matter how many hens I have. I would leave them all together so the hens have a break from the male once in a while. Another hen would be fine if you have space but that just means you'll have hundreds more eggs.
