Hatching Results for Coturnix
The results appears to be promising compared with those from the immediate past. Culling percentage is down from 29% to 16% after only three generations of intense selection and culling, applying the same standards. I know it is only one set of results, but still promising though. 2013-12-14 – Quail Hatching Results

Pickled Quail Eggs
For the Pickling Liquid
4 cups white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons pickling salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
10 cloves garlic, crushed
20 black peppercorns
20 all spice berries
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 large onion finely sliced
50 g finely sliced ginger
5 bayleaves
4 hot chilies finely sliced
1 handful of chopped, fresh, continental parsley
1/2 handful of chopped, fresh, thyme
Boil all the ingredients for about 10 minutes. Let it stand for a few hours
For the Eggs
5 dozen quail eggs
Put the eggs in a pot of cold water , make sure the eggs are well covered with water. Boil the eggs for 10 minutes from the time the water starts to bubble strongly. Remove from the heat and hold under the cold tap until the eggs are cool enough to handle. Keep the eggs in the water and peel them, moisture on the shell makes peeling a bit easier.
Assembling the Pickles
Pack the canning jars with enough eggs to ensure that they will not float around, and pour the pickling liquid over the eggs. Make sure that all the eggs are completely covered. Close the jars tightly. Put the bottles in a large pot with enough water to cover the bottles. Bring the water to the boil and boil for 20 minutes from the time the water starts boiling strongly.
Leave for a month at least and enjoy!
