   Hi becky,
   they are fertilised before the egg if laid. the quail will have a number of eggs at various sizes within her system.
   Best wishes

   I thought all eggs will have a yolk as that is what a baby inside feeds on as they grow in shell (or is that just ducks?)

   I thought you could only tell in fertile once you incubate them for 7 days :) I'm not sure with quails I just assumed all eggs do the same type of thing
