Thank you. I have gloves, but I do not have any meat scissors...

What about a decent knife? You'll want to be super careful not to cut yourself though

I don't use gloves or meat scissors.
Regular kitchen or office scissors work perfectly.

Does anyone have any links on how to tell what is normal and what isn't when looking at the inside of a quail? (I haven't opened her up yet.)

Do you want me to show you pictures of what a normal quail looks like?

Open her and take clear pictures.

Yes, please.

I'll have to dig.

Give me a few minutes.
Have you opened her up yet?

Good vs not good

Put your phone down and go cut her open and get clear pics. It doesn't take long.
