Janty Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I collect the quail eggs each evening as mine lay late in the day. Yesterday I collected 5 eggs from the five ladies. Tonight there were 9 eggs. I know they bury them, etc. but these were mostly in the little wicker basket with two on top of the aubiouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Amazingly productive aren't they There's been days when I was sure I was getting more eggs than I have females but I assumed I was just losing track and had missed a day collecting eggs or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 We sometimes wonder if we're going mad as well I was speaking to someone with a 'foodie' shop who used to keep quail for eggs - I mentioned that they sometimes lay 2 eggs a day and she looked at me as if I was mad!! Perhaps people don't notice when they have lots of quail - you certainly do when you only have a few. I cooked soft boiled quail eggs for all 5 of us who were here yesterday Last year we were so overrun with eggs that I had to give some away - and they stopped laying abruptly.....the moment I'd forced the last 12 on a poor unsuspecting visitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
