➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Yep. Those are bull testicles. You've probably eaten worse every time you've had a hot dog.

Probably but I didn’t know I was eating it. That’s the key.

Edit: @Kiki any idea

Quail balls.

Can you zoom out and take another picture? I don't understand what view this is.

Can’t be they are on the outside under the feathers and they are filled with an orangeish fluid for quail have oil glands?

Edit: right near the egg chute I thought at first it was where the foam came from but the females had them as well

This is weird.
Get more pictures please.

Then they are the oil glands under the skin on the tail. There should be a pimple like erection on the outside of the skin. When you watch birds preen, they always seem to start near the base of their tail while they collect the oil to work on their feathers.

None of my 6 boys I just butchered had anything like that on the outside.

The preen gland is on topside of the tail though, right?

Rocky Mountain oysters are a thing too. Apparently people eat them. I never have, but would probably try them if served to me. I doubt I'd order them for myself if I saw them on the menu, though.

They are delicious. I have had them breaded and fried and then dip them in Ranch Dressing.

I like fried things but I do not think bull testicles would be one of them.

Yes but the two oil sacs are under the skin and on top of the tail.

Oh, I thought that picture was showing it below the vent. Makes sense then, I just didn't see it on any of mine the other day.
