Pasteurizing... button quail eggs?

[Quailbert Quailington]

Has anyone ever done this? I have 7 female button quail and ALL of them lay. I know how to pasteurize a chicken egg, would I do the same for an egg so tiny or would it just cook it? Anyone ever done it before?

Unlike the chicken egg industry where salmonella is in the supply chain, quail eggs can be used raw and are frequently eaten raw requiring no pasteurization.-Dick

Thanks! I was going to do it just to be on the safe side because I have a compromised immune system and wanted to be on the safe side.
