how long will they store??

[DLS]

I have a customer that wants to buy court. eggs to eat. I was wondering how long they should keep in the refrigerator?I think I read that unfertilized eggs will keep weeks longer than the fertilized ones? BUT I just don't know what to tell them.

Well I dont have any quail YET but I do know fertilized chicken eggs dont keep as long as unfertilized so im guessing its the same with quail eggs.

Fertilized or unfertilized makes no difference. At refrigerator temps they will still be good months later. Probably somewhere around 2-3months they aren't quite as good and they lose a lot of moisture but they still aren't bad. I've used them for boiled and scrambled eggs at that point. I broke some 8months later and fed them to the dogs with only 1 being thrown away as rotten. The rest were just mostly yolks because the moisture in the whites had evaporated.

When you see people talking about fertile eggs going "bad" after a short period of time they are talking about how long the eggs are viable, not how long they are edible.
