  2. Hi Aiyana,
    Quail eggs taste just like other eggs. Quail eggs are smaller than other eggs but are still flavoursome.
    Birds that are ableto eat a range of food, especially vegetables as well as grains and layers pellets, produce eggs that are more flavoursome than eggs from battery reared birds.
    Thanks for this question and visiting.
