Quail laying tiny eggs

[Majak5]

I have a quail that is a new layer and I was expecting her first egg to be small but she keeps laying small eggs, she did lay one big egg but the next 2 days she layed small eggs again. Why is she laying all small eggs. First pic is her big and small egg, second pic is an normal egg from another laying quail and all of the small eggs I’ve collected over the past few days all from the same new quail.

Is she the same size as the other ladies laying? It might just be that she is smaller.

Actually she looks a bit bigger

This morning she layed a shellless egg, and it was small like all the others she is laying

You did. I am not sure what they are talking about. The post/question you made originally was the "thread". Maybe they thought you were not the original question asker or something?

Some birds just lay smaller eggs. I know you're talking about quails but one of my EEs lays smaller eggs than the other.

Just saw your second pic.... I have no idea why she's laying small ones...

Heres what size eggs I normally get. A standard coturnix egg typically weighs 7-10 gram eggs. Double yolkers will weigh 13+.

My jumbo brown eggs weigh 12-15+ grams. Double yolkers will weigh 18+.

You can see pics of my eggs in post 3 of this thread...
