Your question is not clear. If you were wondering how some other type of egg is different from a 'regular' chicken egg, please edit your question and add what type you are comparing the chicken egg to. Since you put your question in the Chickens & Roosters category, I will add, roosters are males (boys) and they do not lay eggs. Only the hens or girl chickens lay eggs.

A quail egg is only slightly healthier than a chicken egg when fat, vitamin, protein, and mineral content is examined. Quail eggs are smaller than chicken eggs but have a larger yolk to white ratio.

I'm guessing you're asking what the difference is between the eggs you buy at the store, and the eggs that hatch into chickens (in the US, at least, most eggs at the store are chicken eggs).

The biggest difference is that store eggs are usually not fertilized. An egg must be fertilized to produce a baby chick. Most people find it kind of gross to crack open an egg and find a partially-formed bird fetus inside, so egg companies inspect the eggs before selling them to try to make sure the eggs have not been fertilized.

The difference is that quail eggs have a nutritional value three to four times great than that of chicken eggs. They contain more protein, almost three times as much vitamin B1, and much more iron and potassium.

Does quail look like chicken?

Quail when plucked does look a bit like a tiny chicken but it does not taste the same as chicken. It has a more 'game ' taste and I find it to be more oily in the mouth. Bear in mind that an average quail is only about 5 ounces so you will probably need three to make a meal.
