Is there a quail that lays a blue egg?

You can crumble up some vit c tablets and dilute it in their waters or go to the backyard and cut up some creeping charlies (weed)...

Oh how I wish I could go out in the back yard and cut up some creepin charlies....The only creepin charlie in my frozen Colorado iceberg of a back yard would be me...creepin back to the warm house.

C-tabs it is. I guess all things in moderation incase you all have any horror stories of over supplimenting vit C...

Thanks shug.

I Haven't gotten a solid colored egg yet but I did get the one a mentioned earlier and some with likea blue tintish to them even though they are still the regular speckled color. Might have to try this in the summer with just regular greens.
