cooking quail

egg questions
Quote: If your hens are just starting to lay, then it is possible that 1-3 different hens are laying. The 3 eggs could be from 3 different hens. First eggs can be of different sizes, also even veteran hens can crank out a huge or tiny egg every now and then. The only way I know of to figure... -
