Do any varieties of Pharoah/Coturnix Quail lay larger eggs than the others?

Question

I'm specifically wondering if the "Jumbo" or "XDL"s, since they are larger birds, lay larger eggs.

Answer 1

The size of the egg doesn't necessarily coincide with the size of the bird. For example: The Japanese Quail, also known as Coturnix quail, pharaoh's quail, stubble quail and eastern quail, differs considerably from the North American Bobwhite quail. The Bobwhite is larger than the Japanese quail, however the Coturnix produce larger eggs. A Coturnix egg weighs approximately 10 grams (.4 ounce), an estimated 8 percent of the female body weight. To answer your question, more specifically, you might want to contact a quail farm that raises quails for their eggs to sell.
