purest curiousity; is quail as gamey as duck? My great grandmother made duck one time, and let me try it as a kid.
I ate one bite and was done, lol.
Also, the Coturnix quail are naturally tame enough to be pets.,
especially the TAMU Coturnix. It's like a micro-chicken

aww, they look like if kittens were birds, lol.
IMO quail is not as gamey as a duck.
A lot of it comes from the animals diet.
I can even taste the difference in the eggs.
The trick is to get the meat tender, like soaking it in brine.
Some grocery store chicken has treatment done to it.
Kids love little fried quail eggs. You need to get quail egg scissors to open them easily.

huh. They look like first year chicken eggs. (fun fact, the older your chickens get, the bigger the eggs get (to a point, obviously, lol)
My grandmother used to raise chickens, and when the chickens got older, they'd start laying eggs with two yolks, lol.
The TAMU Coturnix quail lay a bunch of eggs. I do get some double yolkers.
I can get a new generation in 9 weeks.
lol, bet that makescoming up with names for all the laying hens interesting. =P
My parents tried to "sell" us on something called "city chicken"....it was awful...later found out it was rabbit!
well...If you were desperate for meat, i guess... =/
