Riley’s Quail Flock
Our quail are spoiled on a diet of high-protein layer feed, mealworms, fresh greens, and even watermelon rind. Their eggs may be blue or speckled as we have Celadon quail and project quail in a variety of colors. Any texture (nubs or bumps) on the eggs are calcium deposits. Quail eggs can be slightly more difficult to break open than chicken eggs and we use a scissor specifically made for it. Quail eggs are highly nutritious, creamier and smoother than chicken eggs. In recipes, please substitute 2 to 3 quail eggs for 1 chicken egg. Some of our jumbo birds lay “large for quail” eggs. Eggs are unwashed.
