Just think chickens, just think chickens.
Hey guys one of my young brown leghorns laid a 84gram egg! Its her second double yolker I didn't think about weighting her other one. She just started laying a month or two ago.

I am starting to save up eggs for incubating etc...... and I am wondering how I am going to make sure that I don't incubate the double yolk quail eggs.... I can't always tell.

I know it doesn't really matter, if I accidentally set them.....except that I am such a softy, I would hate to know that they had developed half way and then died.....

Also, some of those quail eggs are BLUE when you crack them open! I would love to raise quail that lay blue eggs!!

Those sound cool Alaskan do u have a picture?

not right now.... but I will take one the next time we crack a bunch.

The problem is that the blue is very clear when you open the egg, but before you open it the dark spots etc. that are layered on top of a quail egg mostly mask the blue color.

Very interesting.

When looking at quail egg pictures, some look blue, even in a picture... but no one sells just blue looking ones.

Maybe if you try breeding for the blue looking ones you might wind up with one? Just a thought.

I have Chantecler, Buckeye, and Bourbon Red turkey eggs in the bator. Only 18 so far but will be hatching everything till spring.

These are dyed but man they are pretty...
That little google trip made me hungry. You can do some neat stuff with those... And the tiny delved eggs are too cute...

I always wondered if double yolkers would hatch, they won't?
