are you going to incubate the eggs for more quail?  are you going to release to the wild or eat the quail?  I had some once but I also had a hound dog that had a taste for quail and a son who left the gate open.  now i don't have any quail.  I want more though.

Ive got a silkie hen that loves to set so I'm going to try her first. If not i do have an incubator.  These guys are 5 oz full grown .  so it would take a few hundred to have a decent bbq

Kittens need to be marinated in a vinegar based sauce for 12-16 hours. 

:D

E. D....

 

Hope you read that post.  That's all I can do... go back up the path of life... dig up the landmines... and plant flowers in their place.  Yesterday's gone... can't bring it back.

 

Hope you have a happy, productive, long, rich... and enjoyable life.

 

Good bye,

ED,

 

 6 more and you'll have a decent omelette.

7 quail eggs would make an XL egg and a half omelet.

 

From my fridge, an XL egg is 64 g (the spec is 63.8 to 70.8, shell in.

 

A quail egg was 13 g.  Shells are very thin. I use them boiled and halved for making salads .  (Caesar salad, Ukrainian style. The normal recipe is quite different.)

Out of the 7 females we average 5 eggs a day. I'm hoping to hatch about thirty more and then start eating the eggs. It's not for cost savings but just the cool factor. We can get 5 doz chicken eggs here for 2 bucks.  There is just something amazing watching the birds run around and eat insects

Both from a rescue so lots of work ahead. The appy  was a brood mare. Both in rough shape but nothing a little love and food can't fix
