Wondering if I now am a world record holder for largest coturnix quail egg ever laid??    I know I have 2 hens in that pen that lay 'jumbo'' but wow, this one knocked my socks off.....looked for the limping, moaning bird after finding this! :) WOW!

Is there a record for largest quail egg???  Hope the pics load.... :)

Weigh it, and blow out the shell, just in case :)

I have six lovable hens: Luna (6 year old red star), Buckbeak and Asha (young black star sisters), Sage (my lone surviving white leghorn), Bedazzle (my grey/splash EE) and Pepper (my silver laced wyandotte)!

I also have a dog and a hedgehog :)

 I have two hens that lay 20-22g eggs just about every other day. If you crack that open I would almost bet ya a Mearns quail that its a double yolk. I have tried to incubate 9 so far and never had one hatch. My own personal opinion is the yolks come down too close together and the shell department tries to wrap em both at the same time.
