Quail eggs how do you use them.

[mhwc56]

O and i just discovered another use for eggs....
i left a bowl of Button Quail eggs setting on the floor by the cages and didn't give it any thought..went to put them away and the bowl was empty...the Boston terrier /beagle mix("Moo") was looking quite pleased...

...shells and all...

I can't imagine fried quail eggs. How do you get them out of the shell without breaking most of the yolks? How many quail eggs to equal a large chicken egg. I'm using a lot of mine for dog treats. Good for them.

NO SIR, THIS IS A LICENCED GAME FARM AND POSTED AS SUCH... PERIMETER FENCE STAYS LOCKED AT ALL TIMES UNLESS SOMEONE IS DRIVING THRU THE GATE AT THAT MOMENT.... ANY TRESPASSERS FOUND INSIDE--- BEST THEY COULD HOPE FOR WOULD BE A LOAD OF ROCK SALT IN THE 12 GAUGE BUT THATS NOT VERY LIKELY.... SUFFICE TO SAY THE POLICE WOULD DEFINATELY BE INVOLVED.

If I even shot rock salt at someone I would end up in jail. I'm won't risk a jail sentance on someone crossing my property. The law up here aint what it used to be, if someone gets hurt while robbing you they can sue. It's sad though....

I eat fried coturnix eggs all the time, in fact I prefare them that way.

You need to stab quail egg with sharp pointed knife on its side. Then open it just like chicken egg.

Quail egg membrane is often tougher than its shell. That causes they are pain to break cleanly.

3- 5 quail eggs equal one chicken egg

We had quail. 3 of their eggs = 1 chicken eggs. My 14 yo loved those eggs. We scrambled and fried them.

But quail aren't cuddle-able like chickens. We're concentrating on chickens for now but might get back to quail. Someday.


ETA: Cracked the shells like any other egg. Light tap on counter, thumbs in the crack, and press in to split. If the quail didn't get enough calcium, the shell kinda squished but usually cracked like a chicken egg shell. Yolks are so outstanding and strong that I never had one break from cracking open the shell.
