This came from my Jumbo Brown Coturnix Quail today...it's so CUTE!! I don't know if I could even blow it out and keep it though it's so small! It's smaller than a Button quail egg, and those things are tiny. I wonder if it'd hatch

Here's a good comparison pic for those who haven't seen quail eggs.

Could you imagine how tiny a chick from that would be, I remember how nervouse I was with button hachlings, I couldn't imagine anything smaller!

I never had a button hatch but these chicks that wound up laying these were bad enough. They were about the size of a quarter when they hatched! it still amazes me they come out that small and are laying by 8-10 weeks old! Freaky little birds

Those are really cool eggs! I've never seen anything like them. Since I'm not familiar with quail, what size are the "regular" eggs surrounding the little one??

Those eggs are neat-o! I've never seen a quail egg before.

They are about as big around as a quarter at the thickest part of the egg. I'll post another pic for you all who have never seen quail eggs
