chicken eggs. Quail eggs contain 13 percent proteins compared to 11 percent in
chicken eggs. Quail eggs also contain 140 percent of vitamin B1 compared to 50
percent in chicken eggs. In addition, quail eggs provide five times as much
iron and potassium. Unlike chicken eggs, quail eggs have not been know to cause
allergies or diathesis. Actually they help fight allergy symptoms due to the
ovomucoid protein they contain.
