I was wondering the same thing.

they are a variety of quail produced by Texas A&M. If I remember correctly they are a white meat quail where regular coturnix are dark meat

Since I haven't seen any dumb posts today, I'll go ahead and be the first one.
We have a broody laying on 3 eggs. Last night was the 7th day, so we went to candle her eggs. Surprise! She had 6 eggs under her.
The 3 donated unfertile eggs look identical and would seem to be from the same pullet, so in theory, the oldest one would have been under her for 3 days.
Here's the dumb post of the day: Is is safe to eat the 3 unfertilized eggs she's been gleefully sitting on for 3 days, or would it be better to throw them out?

There is a water test, if it floats don't eat it.
Or if you want to be really safe boil the eggs and feed them back to your chickens.

Quote: so they would be really tiny biters. I was picturing a banty chicken breed. Boy was I off.

Eeek! I was just about to type up a post here that my little Light Brown Leghorn, Whiri, was nesting, and then I heard her cackling! She's laid her first egg!! e

Here she was on the nest, just minutes ago!

Throw them away, do not eat the. When they sit on eggs they get up to almost 100 degrees, you dont want to eat that.

Congrats! Looks like a nice big first egg too. I totally want a Brown Leghorn or two now to go with my Silvers.

That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I've been wanting leghorns but I was worried about the comb freezing in the winter. Have you or anybody else had experience with that?
