I heard that Tesco sell quail eggs, but not checked it out. I wouldnt mind a pair of these either, and I already breed birds. Trouble is, the only egg eaters I've seen advertised are WC, and I would like CB.

yea many supermarkets have quail eggs of varying sizes. I imagine if you got a baby though a lot of them would be too big.

finch eggs are your best eggs, then chinese painted quail eggs as these are half the size of norm quail eggs which there are loads on ebay, the finch eggs are the hard part but a few feeds on them and you can move to the painted quails.

You can always buy chicken eggs, take a little in a syringe and force feed the little blighter. I have been doing that with my pair of eggeaters for 4 years.
