According to the hormel website, a quail egg is about 9 grams and a large chicken egg is 50 grams... so it's close to a 1 to 5 ratio.
I'd just use 1/2 a large egg in place of 2 quail eggs. That should be close enough, unless you really want to weigh off 18 grams.
TIP: For half an egg - lightly beat one egg, then measure out 1 1/2 tablespoons.

A quail egg is fairly small compared to a hen's egg. I'd say about an inch or 3/4 of an inch long. A quail egg is 1/5 the size of a hen's egg.
Asain markets often sell these by the doz for about a dollar and a half. I'm sure if you look around in the Asian markets in your area, you could find them. But, if you wish to substitute, I'd say one small hen egg to two or three quail's.

Obviously a quail egg is half the size of a hens egg.

They are small....2 quails eggs would equal 1 large hens egg.

Real quail eggs are quite small - about as big as a robin's egg. It'd take about six of 'em to equal a small hen's egg.

quails eggs are little tiny things so you are probably looking at about 4 quail to 1 hen.

I would use one egg for two Quails. They are about the size of a walnut

Five quail eggs will typically equal the weight of one chicken egg.

1 very small hens egg wil suffice. A quail egg is not much bigger than a mans thumb.
