Better to steam quail eggs. They'll slide right out of the shell even fresh. If you don't have a double boiler or steamer just get a strainer basket and fit it over a pot of boiling water with a lid. I usually just steam for 20mins which is the suggested time for chicken eggs. You can't over steam. You can get it too hot though and then they split. Rinse in cold water and pop them right out of the shell without so much as a crack in the whites.
