A man decided to incubate a dozen supermarket quail eggs to see if one would hatch

Neat little buggers but get two. Obnoxiously loud when they are alone.

@OP please tell me you named him Albert because you bought the eggs at an Albertson's grocery store...

I don't know why buy in the last gif I imagined the quail barking...

Is no one going to talk about the tomagachi thermometer?
ThisIsGod
It's an egg timer :D
Cutlerhammered
Did you know Donald Trump hasn't fed his tomagachi in 15 years.

0% chance this is real. Smells like Peta bullshit to me.
saganworshipper
That is statistically very unlikely and therefore, a miracle.
saganworshipper
I love this so, so much!

Quails are delicious. Especially when deboned and stuffed with ginger-bacon sausage, smoked, and grilled.
AsianMilfslayer
. For recipe
someotherusernameinterest
I bake them with a shallot onion in the body cavity and drizzle with truffle oil. literally my favorite dish.
chemistrytyrant
perhaps you have a recipie?
madetheaccountjustforyou
Debone a quail, stuff it with ginger-bacon sausage, smoke it, then grill it.
sixtyfortysoo
I don't know why but this is the funniest thing I've read today..
sorrynotsorryimnotcanadian
Fucking nailed it.
Jsmythe
This makes me want to incubate 1000 eggs and then release them into my backyard when they mature. Start a quail ranch. Free food.
Magpiebones
They will consider you as their mom when they hatch from the incubator, tho. :3
Jsmythe
should make them easier to catch and kill. ;-)
Magpiebones
Well true, they will follow you everywhere and try take shelter under you.
Jsmythe
$270 + tax
TheRuggedProfessorNeckbeard
so, out of 12 eggs, he got one chick?
ThisIsGod
Sounds like he got gypped.
codylishush
Eggs are very picky, they need to be under incubation constantly to have a good chance of hatching. A supermarket egg would not be.
NorfolkBoy
I'm amazed he even got that. I didn't think they ran male quails in with the female at all, or is this parthenogenesis?
TheRuggedProfessorNeckbeard
yeah I'm surprised as well. That's a possibility. Not as familiar with quails than chickens though.
NorfolkBoy
Same, I grew up raising chickens, never dealt with quails. Never tried to incubate unfertilized eggs either.
GothmogLordofBalrogs
Some eggs are fertilized if you get them from the organic section. You can be a bit surprised sometimes when you open one up.
NorfolkBoy
Very dissappointed actually, My mum still keeps kosher and so a Chicken egg with even one spot of blood in is no longer parev.
bobcoproductions
BRB going to the co-op for some eggs.
TheMoistBandit
You're gonna two player eggs?
WinstonChurchmountain
That's called a threesome.
teslavsedison
Shout out to the Co-op massiv!
TheBritishAreComing
Ah yes, over priced shit food. I used to shop at Co-op every day until sainsburies opened later. They're shit
teslavsedison
It's a rich mans Londis ammiright?
TheBritishAreComing
HAHA so true!
bobcoproductions
Honestly the only place I can think of that would have fertilized eggs. Grocery store eggs for sure aren't.
turbodog
Fun fact, Americans are pretty much the only ones who refrigerate our eggs. We have to, they are scrubbed and waxed "for our safety".
ArcticNights
Here in Ireland I've noticed the organic eggs say refrigerate after purchasing. Even though they aren't refrigerated in the store.
ladwholived
Fun fact: so do Canadians...
FallWind
German here. Everyone I know keeps their eggs in the fridge. Which is funny to say because in German, "eggs" is a euphemism for scrotum.
Sogeman
Austria here, keeping eggs in the fridge but I also ignore the best by date. They aren't sold refrigerated though.
MusculusSternocleidomastoideus
Belgian, we do thay too
WeeFatTart
UK here. We also keep ones eggs in the fridge. To not do so would be quite ghastly.
BenSpacey
You dont have to you know? In the UK the shells prevent them from going bad
deltajesus
That depends, our family doesn't and neither do most of the people I know.
Contundo
most Norwegians refrigerate their eggs (washed), and most people ignore the best before date. if they smell funny they are bad
Tuoliats
In Finland we do that too! Hello dear neighbour :)
Contundo
obligatory Perkele. ;)
madetheaccountjustforyou
Even eggs left on the counter in Finland are refrigerated.
LittleDragon
aren't they also bleached? That is why all our eggs are white.
TheRuggedProfessorNeckbeard
nah, it has to do with the genetics of the chicken. It's basically like skin color. Certain breeds even lay eggs with green shells.
painstream
As long as it's not blue shells, amirite?
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
At least one of my mom's chickens lays blue eggs. It's probably the bitchy one.
LittleDragon
I know there are different breeds with different colors. I just thought I had read someplace that they bleached the store bought eggs
TheRuggedProfessorNeckbeard
I don't think so. Some eggs are brown, some are white. They wash them, but they don't bleach brown eggs to make white eggs.
LittleDragon
Yup. Was just reading about it a little.
Elminst
Also partially due to the chickens' diets. We get eggs from wife's aunt and they are all sorts of shades of tan/brown.
TheRuggedProfessorNeckbeard
from what I have read and my experience, the shell is all genetics, the color of the yolk is from diet.
Elminst
You are correct. I looked it up after posting as i wasn't 100% sure.
ScrapDaddy
What market can I get quail eggs at?
onecattwocatbigcatsmallcat
If you are in America, you can't hatch them tho. Keeping eggs cold makes the fetus die.
NastyHabit
I grow them.
PENDEJO
go to a Filipino market ask for balut
lynnkm
there is a mexican market near me i know they sell them and I've seen them in some asian/korean markets as well. so id try any non big name
cakenuggets
Albert (heijn) the quail
CountBackwardsFrom10
There're at alot of places..if you live near a fancy organic market u can get some.Wholefoods, fairway, & trader joes has'em in NYC.
Therearetoomanyusernames
Shoot, I've seen them in my regular grocery store.
McFly47
Nigga even Publix in Florida has them
CountBackwardsFrom10
Yea but are they ~*Organic*~ BPAfree, farm raised, free ranged, babaysat, cradled, butt warmed, and sang-to eggs like those in Wholefoods?
McFly47
The Aisle smells like butt*
McFly47
Idk about that but they are in the organic Aisle and they sure do smell like butt
CountBackwardsFrom10
Hmm so they could be butt-warmed eggs.
CountBackwardsFrom10
Wait but arent most eggs just chicken/Quail periods? They arent likely to be fertilized.
galspanic
I'm going to guess that this is bullshit. It might not be, but statistically it is.
ChrisPrattsTinyNipples
It's a Jesus quail! A tasty little miracle
Georgetheimp
How do you like your eggs? Fried or fertilized?
CountBackwardsFrom10
Fertilized tonight, fried in the morning ;)
Nomtombouts
And most of these didn't hatch
chillerluvcats
I'm gonna take a guess and say because it's from a organic section and quail eggs aren't periods. There are actual quails inside
Magpiebones
Many organic farms keep roosters with the hens, as that's natural and good for many poultry species' flock dynamics and sociality.
ThisIsGod
Which is why I hate "organic" eggs. I've cracked a few and a little red embryo pops into my pan.
CountBackwardsFrom10
You're probably not gonna like Balut then
Magpiebones
I've never got that. That only means farmer has fucked up on collecting them several days too late. :I
ThisIsGod
Or fucked up in letting his rooster near his hens. You can only have like two roosters before they try and kill each other. It's not hard.
Magpiebones
You can keep several roosters in same pen as long as certain rooster-to-hen ratio and space requirements are met. But fertilized egg 1/2
ThisIsGod
I come from a long line of farmers and it's not that hard to keep them apart. It's just laziness.
codylishush
That shouldn't be happening if the egg is refrigerated properly. Out of all the fertilized eggs I've ate, never had an embryo in one.
ThisIsGod
I used to live on a farm and it all depends on the state of development the embryo is in when it first goes to the refrigerator.
codylishush
The egg you ate must have sat out for a good while before it was taken for the market.
