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

21-22 grams is biggest we have seen.

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.

One of my quail just laid an egg that's more than 3 inches long! Biggest I ever seen! Normally my quails' eggs are bigger than the one sold in grocery store but this one was huge! It's just slightly a bit smaller than a chicken egg! Have anyone gotten an egg that big?

I have 1 coturnix quail egg that I got this morning weighting 25 grams

Is that a triple yolk? Sometimes you'll even get an egg inside an egg.
