I had a gigantic one the other day that was 19 grams! It was literally the size of a small chicken egg. I opened it up and yep, it was a double yolker!

I just weighed 3 of my big eggs using my digital postal scale. They were .6oz, .6 oz, and a whopping .8 oz. Here they are. I've had several that were triple yolks. Ya have to feel sorry for the girls when they lay one that big!

WoW. Ugly Ducky I would love to have some of your stock.

kingmt ~ That can be arranged...LOL. I sell them all the time. Right now, I'm backed up on orders, but in a couple weeks I'll be caught up. I don't ship the BIG ones, as they don't fit in the quail eggs cartons, and are double and triple yolkers, so wouldn't hatch. But I love getting them, and usually boil those up for hubby.

Wow ugly ducky those eggs are the weight of 350 grains thats a 45/70 rifle bullet weight. Wondering what diameter those eggs are guessing 8 ga. Bore. I bet those quail waddle after laying those eggs. What are you doing with those ducks? lol

I had jumbo coturnix and had some huge eggs too (I don't have quail anymore). Never thought to weigh them. Here's a pic though -
