Button quail egg uses

[Dan Clark]

I’m geting button quail eggs and I don’t realy know what to do with them. There the size of olives so not worth eating. Those of you with button quail what do you do with your birds eggs? Was hoping to find someone who raises egg eating snakes.

I boil them, crush them up (shells and all) and feed them to my coturnix. You could probably feed some of them back to your buttons. High protein, high calcium treat.

Edit: They also go well into your compost. If you raise zucchini or other plants that like a lot of calcium in the soil, it's good for them.

I make scotch eggs with coturnix eggs. Button eggs are just too dang hard to peel.

I have 6 separate pairs that I am keeping to make nice color morphs. The genetics have been fascinating to watch. I have 8 3 week olds, 53 incubating now, another 20 I am thinking about, and just used up about 35ish of the oldish ones for breakfast this morning.

Boil them up stick them in the food processor and feed them right back to your quails. Or get yourself npip certified and sell them online is hatching eggs

I boil and crush them and feed back to the quails (both button and coturnix) I also keep reptiles and my blue tongues love the buttons eggs. sometimes if I need to use up eggs I'll use 10-12 per chicken egg required in a recipe. of course I also hatch them
