First eggs!
So, finally my Japanese quails (I ended up realizing that they weren't Chinese quails haha) have laid! This is the first egg that I've found and I'm super excited! Since it's the first one it probably isn't fertile tho, so it may end up in the frying pan tonight :)- ChineseQuailDude

So... I have two Japanese Quail now!
A friend dumped her two males on me as they refused to get along and she had a mated pair already. :p The 'fighting' was just the more dominant male quail forcing himself on the other quail to mate as I have observed and are getting along now.
