Imploding Quail eggs?

[Susan Skylark]

That weird brittle chalky blue is the under shell, it isn’t getting the hard and dark outer shell, I think I’ve found my bird that doesn’t do a proper finish on her eggs, my nicest young Italian, grrr, I’ll have to cull her for her own sake, having one of those eggs crack internally is a miserable way to die and she’s producing one daily and I can’t exactly rehome a defective layer with the stipulation she can’t have more than 8 hours of light a day, glad your bird has a good home!

Wow,
I just saw all the great articles you wrote about quail. I think I'll just sit down and learn things for a few days. Thank you for that. I'm an accidental quailist. I wasn't looking for a Birb (but i have a an epic horror story about chukkar raising gone awry), she was foisted on me in a vulnerable moment. I can't say I'm not intrigued by the prospect of an endless supply of home raise butter-braised birdies. Not to mention poached egglets on toast points at midnight.
