➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

This is what I was thinking too but I really believe you could somehow use hay to get the environment right. To fully develop them. It would probably mean lots of tweaking and manipulating and close temp and humidity monitoring.
I am not a fan of playing human thermostat. I tried that at the very beginning of this thread and hated it.
 
Are the spots on quail eggs like the bloom on chicken eggs? That question has more to do with your vinegar experiment. & I don't see why quail wouldn't work. Do they have completely different incubation requirements than chicken eggs? I have no idea.
I'm not sure but taking the spots off the quail eggs might screw them up And allow nasties to get in while incubating. I am going to try it though to see for myself if it will work.
 
He quacks like a drake and has a drake tail. :idunno
Might try artificial insemination. Not as hard to do as you think.

It's hard.
Frying chicken correctly is a process.

Can anyone here cook real fried chicken?
Is it even really possible?
Here is what I do....
Cut up and brine the chicken...water to cover and add a tablespoon of salt...while you heat your oil and prep the flour mix. Remember that bone in pieces take longer to cook. I debone but leave skin on when I can. Skinless tenders tenders cook just like pieces with skin when flour coated while wet. Pieces should be similar size. Pierce cooked pieces with a knife..juices should run clear..if not, the meat is undercooked.

Flour mix for a whole chicken: 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup corn starch, 1/4 cup season mix (garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, celery salt, paprika or simply use season salt). I like to add 1 cup of Louisiana seasoned crispy chicken fry batter mix dry. Sift this together in a bag or a ziploc bowl with a lid.

Heat Oil: I prefer Crisco all vegetable oil.

Remove chicken piece from the brine and drop in the flour mix and shake to coat. Lay each piece on a plate. When all are floured you are ready to fry.

Two ways of cooking...
Cast iron deep skillet with a lid. 1/3 to 1/2 depth of oil in the skillet heated on medium. Carefully lay the pieces into the hot oil frying to set the skin and flour. At 5 minutes turn pieces over and cover with the lid. At 10 minutes remove the lid and turn chicken pieces over to crisp up that side.
Deep fryer. Fill to line in cooker and heat to 350 degrees. Flour chicken the same way. Drop pieces carefully into the deep fryer. When they float to the top, roll pieces over and cook until golden brown.
Remove to plate with paper towel to absorb extra oil.
