I realise this is a very old thread but here's a link to an article that explores the health benefits and some scientific research. The biggest issue is finding quail that aren't fed commercially prepared feed - you need ones that have been taught to forage and are kept in a more natural environment, or raise your own to this end.

I read (somewhere lol) that some people feel bad after eating quail eggs because they have more protein and nutrition than chicken eggs? Maybe instead of an allergy some people are experiencing an overload of nutrients? Just an idea!

Here's a good link with info and references - http://www.livestrong.com/article/337189-quail-egg-nutrition/

"Quail eggs are low in calories. A serving of five eggs contains only 71 calories -- 4 percent of your daily calorie intake in a standard 2,000-calorie diet and roughly the same as one large chicken egg. Each serving of quail eggs provides you with 6 grams of protein to support the health of your skin and hair. Quail eggs also contain 5 grams of fat, including 1.6 grams of saturated fat per serving. Because saturated fat can boost your blood cholesterol levels -- and, in turn, contribute to heart disease -- you should eat quail eggs in moderation."
