First egg!

[silentrunning]

One of our quails laid her first egg yesterday. I don't know what we are going to do with it. My wife wants to get an incubator. I want to leave it with the quail. If those eggs start hatching, I'm going to have to build another cage.

I think it was the Coturnix but I'm not sure. I have 5 quail in the pen and there are 3 different kinds. To be honest I think they are Heinz 57 type quails because I haven't seen any pictures that look like them. I'll take some pictures this weekend. Maybe you can I.D. them for me.

they sound like they probably are coturnix

I'd love to see them!!!

if they are coturnix, I'd say for sure incubate the eggs if you want chicks because coturnix aren't known for going broody very often.
