Your confusion is understandable! The answer depends on who you ask. Some veterinary professionals recommend raw eggs, others say never. If you buy organic eggs from a reputable farm or supplier, then you likely will not have an issue. In the wild, eggs are consumed raw by predators and opportunistic scavengers. One or two quail eggs occasionally will likely not cause any issues as long as Sharon is eating a balanced diet. If you notice any gastrointestinal upset, decrease the amount and frequency until you find a happy medium.
