Do you really eat the eggs? you would have to have a lot to make a meal? how many eggs do you use for a scramble?

I have not eaten the eggs a scramble.
I have had them hard boiled and 'pickled', they are boiled, peeled and placed in a jar and pickle mixture poured over, keep in the fridge for a week to mature and have had them on a "nibbles platter with cheese, crackers, cold meats, etc.
Very tasty and always prove a real novalty.
The eggs turn a bit brown with dark vinegar , wondering if they could not be more appealing if white vinegar were used.
The lady who offered them to me usus a 'spice mix ' she buys at the supermarket, just a specific prepacked pickle mix of spices in the spice rack of any supermarket like Coles or Woolworths.

you should try them, they pretty much taste like a chook egg, they are so cute boiled and put in a salad or really cute fried and give em to the kids....

they have different health benefits compared to a chook egg, google it..

they are also environmentally cheap to produce, quail don't eat much and don't consume alot of water...

How do you fry them? do you hard boil them first then drop them in a deep fryer?

no crack them into a frypan with a little margarine..this can be a delicate procedure, though they do look very cute..!
