Well the wife just sent me this , first ones ever ! she's absolutely over the moon that those little critters are dropping butt nuggets now she's never collected eggs or anything...or really had much past cats so she's really been loving these quail .... And now she's talking about if a milk goat is a possibility

Well guess I need to order some of those fancy little cartons and scissors for them

I had quail for a while and those goofy egg scissors worked like a charm!! Happy trapping! ScottW

Nice...I always wanted to try that. Let us know how they taste.

Congratulations. Hopefully those are your first eggs of thousands. Those 5 eggs are probably 12 to 15 grams each and are roughly equivalent to an extra large chicken eggs if used in a recipe.

Scissors are definitely best. Tough shell!; 5 to 1 ratio for me and they cook very quickly. Congratulations, quail are quick to layers.
Next for you is rabbits .sure tasty

Next be an incubator.

Yep x2

When I had quail, I couldn’t keep enough pickled eggs in the house… I need to buy some again.

So let me get this straight...you need scissors to open those eggs?

I have quail and have never heard of that. I just crack them like any other egg.

Those quail eggs taste great and the scissors actually work well.
We're getting some male birds for processing in about a week or 2. Hope to get some eggs too.

I buy quail for my dogs to hunt. They lay eggs in the box on the 45 min ride home

Pickled quail eggs

That's what everyone tells me , you don't need em.but apparently they just make life easier...and for the cost why not


And they also have this do kicky that might be useful if they start dropping fast , wifey does loooove her lil kitchen gadgets

Funny enough I don't really like picked eggs but we are planning on heeling friends and family stocked might try and sell some in town from time to time. They want like $15-20 for a mason jar full of the lil things in most stores down here so think we could make a lil doing $8-$10 a pop lol egh if it pays for there feed think we'll be happy, there glorified pets more then anything

If you like shells pieces in your egg don't use Scissors. Very hard shells

Easy to keep, not much room needed and quiet

The shell membrane is tougher on quail eggs than chicken eggs, which is why the scissors are handy. A pointy knife works too.

Not sure about that yet....though the wife said she'd might have to quit that trash job of her just to stay home and take care of all the critters if we keep on so mabye

Anything I should feed them to help with egg health and the like past the regular laying feed they get ?
