Wow what is the converstion of Quail egg to Chicken egg for recipes...?? I know when I had boat loads of Bantam eggs... I figured Quiche was the way to go.... Since it takes 1.5 bantam eggs to make one chicken egg.... Six eggs for a Quiche turned into nine.... I made four quiches

Aside from size the ratio of yolk to white makes a big difference. When I had Guinea eggs they were a bit larger than a Bantam egg yet they had a yolk almost the size of a chicken egg. Higher protien.... Make awesome deviled eggs....

duck eggs I hear have a "sturdier" white so they whip up better and make better texture for pastry.

So I guess the best way to do it would be measure the volume of a chicken egg then crack enough quail eggs to equal the same volume? Tripple that if the recipe takes three eggs.

Wow found the answer right here on BYC...

5-6 quail eggs = 1 chicken egg.... give or take.

let us know how they taste.

So, you could eat a dozen eggs for breakfast.

Mallard eggs are the same weight as a large Chicken egg. Some of our kids did not want to eat duck eggs. DW made a batch of deviled eggs from the Mallard eggs and the kids just raved about them. They said that they were the best deviled eggs that they had ever eaten.

@chickisoup Love your Good Morning sign!

@Alaskan Got pics?

Today was not windy! Sunshine high of 64! Great painting weather. Except the asian lady beetles like the sunshine too. But I got a coat of paint on the front side of the coop. The dry almost bare boards really sucked up the paint. Now I have to get more. Tomorrow I plan to paint and put up trim board. It never had any so I think it will look more finished that way. And go get 1 more gallon of paint in the afternoon whie the asian beetles attack the coop in the sun.

Awesome you are getting painting done. I just bought a small thing of paint so that I could pant labels on the fuel tanks...... I got it home and then read the label..... Oh yeah, outside temp has to be 50 or higher, guess I will wait until June.

You want pictures?

Nice bantam house. I like the cone of chicken wire idea for the heated bucket... Thanks everyone

 

[Alaskan]

So, the bantams like their new house!! They have only been in it two nights, and one of them laid her very first egg!!

Must be from the blue laced Wyandote! Good girl!

Now if my super most expensive chicken would lay her first egg!!!!!! (The bantam wheaten Ameraucana)

Nice bantam house Alaskan! I'm glad your chickies like their new place!

I got 2 more coats of paint on the front of the coop today! e I went and got the paint first thing this morning and took advantage of the warmer mornining before the sun got to that side of the coop and beforevthe invasion of the asian lady beetles! Finished up about 2pm just in time! Whew.
I pobably could have gotten done sooner except I had lots of help from the girls. It's nice they come running when they see me and want to hang around; except when I'm trying to paint.

I made an awning to cover the window and shade from too much sun in the summer and rain too. i had one up of cloth but it faded pretty badly. The new one is wood and it's painted. I can always add a sunbrella fabric later if I want. I also got the shelf paint for the flower box that goes under the window. A few more details and I'm going to haveto call it a year for painting.

@chickwhispers we need PICTURES please!

Wow! Everyone is being so productive! We finished our llama pen add on, bought a stock trailer, and added another roosting board in the coop since the young ones have decided to roost above the window ledge. They still aren't full grown and they won't fit on the ledge when they are.

We pick up our new llamas on Saturday. e I am so excited.

Also, sorry for the chick losses. We have a girl who is just old and slowing down. I am waiting on the inevitable.

Lost my baby chick today - she drowned in the heated waterer even though she had her own chick waterer in the run - so sad

So sorry to hear that sometimes things just happen like that and you shouldn't blame yourself.
It doesn't make it any easier when we lose one of friends like that but I'm sure your chick had a happy life with you while it was here.
