I've only had a few that went broody (I usually take the eggs pretty quickly), but most of them had both the male and female sitting on the eggs. Not this time though, at least not that I've seen.

Buttons (Chinese Blue Breasted) quail usually do have brown or dark green eggs with dark brown spots. Coturnix (Japanese) quail usually have white with brown spots eggs. I've had coturnix lay white eggs, brown eggs, green eggs, and 'normal' eggs. I usually get brown with spots or green with spots eggs from my buttons but occasionally get a 'blue' egg.
That's soo cute!!!

We have cots that like you, will lay an odd colored egg from Time to time. My son who is almost 4 likes to help me collect the eggs...one day we found one with no spots and his instant reply, "Daddy, I think her paint factory is broken." While holding and examining the egg...only out of mouths of kids!

The "X" is to know the egg has been turned.
A lot of us mark them with an "X" on one side , and an "O" on the other, so we can keep track of when they've been turned and how far to turn them.
When I hand turn them, it would get turned so the "O" face's up the next turn would be the "X" faces up.
