Assuming your shotgun has two triggers, you can fire either first.
If you have one trigger, the order of fire can vary massively...use a gauge to check the bore on your gun, If you don't have one just use a coin and see how far it will go down the front of the barrel, or make a target out of cardboard to see which barrel is the more open barrel, by patterning the barrels.
once you know which barrel is the the more open choke, you are ready to determine which barrel you want to shoot first, and as a quail hunter on the rise you will usually shoot the barrel with the more open choke first, saving the tighter choked barrel , as the game gets farther away.

What is break in shotgun?
There is no "break in" shotgun. A "break open" shotgun is a single barrel, double barrel, or combination rifle/shotgun which breaks open in the sense that a lever will unlock the action, allowing the barrel to pivot at a hinge at the front of the receiver, pivoting the rear of the barrel up to expose the chamber. A shells may be loaded into the chamber and the barrel pivoted back to close the action. The act to "break in" a shotgun means to fire it a few times to loosen it up.

Which barrel do you fire first in a double barrel shotgun?
Usually you fire the right barrel first. It's choke is normally a little open giving a wider spread of shot. You fire the second barrel which is normally a tighter choke at a target farther away. This tighter spread will be concentrated but spread because of the long range assuring more pellets hitting the target. Firing the right barrel at a greater range might have the target escape by having the shot pass by without hitting it because the pellets are spread too far apart.
Can you use 3030 bullets in a 410 shotgun?
No. You can only fire .410 shotgun shells in it. You should never attempt to fire a different ammunition than is stamped on the barrel, even if it appears to fit. If the pressure is too high, or the cartridge doesn't fit, at the best your gun will not shoot properly. At the worst it can explode and kill you.
