Got my first egg!

[CrazyQuailLady]

I'm just so excited about it I'm making a whole new thread just to exclaim to the quail world that, at 6 weeks and 2 days old, one of my hens laid her first egg! It's my first ever quail egg too from my first time keeping quails. I'm so proud of her!

They are 8.5 weeks old now and are all laying well. However, today I found this midget sized egg with very thick egg-white-like-jelly stuff and a very underdeveloped yolk, if you could even call it yolk. Is it what they call a "fart" egg? What is up with that? At first I thought my kid threw a pebble into the rabbit hutch.

It probably is a fart egg. I sometimes get eggs similar. Btw congratz on your first egg! It's beautiful!!!

Thanks for the congrats all It really is exciting collecting these eggs, especially when some of them are a bit "special" lol

My guess is that was a first egg of another hen, but you would know that better than I, but I get some like that as firsts sometimes.

My husband decided to throw the trash out at 2am last night so the lights were on and the quails woke up. I thought, what the hay, I'll give them a midnight snack. It must've messed with their circadian rhythm/ egg laying cycle because this morning I found two no shelled eggs from hens that have always laid in the late afternoon.
