Oh no... what to do??? Coturnix quail eggs...

[Mrs MIA]

A customer of mine didn't want to throw away his quail's eggs, so he saved them up for me and put them in the refrigerator. It's a week's worth of eggs, 100 of them to be exact, and I don't have room for all of them in my incubator. Should I try a couple of them to see if being in the refrigerator hurt them any? I don't know which ones are the oldest as they were all jumbled up in a plastic container.

What to do? What to do? Does anyone want them?

Guess where I stored the eggs I shipped you? As long as they don't freeze they will hatch. Set them dudes!!

 

[Mrs MIA]

I wish I had room for them all. I don't have a single space open until I get my LG back from the fair. Then I could set maybe half of them. I've been looking them over, and finding a few that have cracks in them, so there's slightly less than 100.

PICKLED QUAIL EGGS:

Hard-boll and peel a dozen quail eggs ...and place them in a bowl. Then combine a small onion (diced), 1/4 cup of vinegar, 1/2 cup of water, and a dash of salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil. Pour the hot pickling solution over the eggs until they're completely covered ...then store them in the refrigerator. Serve them chilled.

I would also set the ones that are closest to the top of the pile of eggs first, as those are probably the freshest. My guess would be that the ones that are the oldest are on the bottom. Good luck with them!

Actually, they ARE all jumbled up... he took them from the cartons he was storing them in and put them all in a plastic container for me willy nilly.

I may just boil them up and crumble them for the birds...

I'd say send them over but the bator is full up now. I was going to put some more quail eggs in there after the 24...then I'll have some room in there. CROSS OUR FINGERS!!

 

[Mrs MIA]

! If I had stopped at his place first, I would have offered them to you... I won't have room for them until I get my LG back!

If I was closer, I'd take them in a second! `Cause I need more birds, ya' know?!
