An 11-month-old can eat quail eggs, provided the same basic egg allergy precautions are followed as with chicken eggs.
Quail eggs contain egg white protein, which is a common allergen. If your baby has already eaten chicken eggs (especially whites) without problems, quail eggs are usually safe to try. If your baby has never eaten eggs before, start with a small amount of well-cooked chicken egg yolk first, then watch for allergic signs (rash, lip/eye swelling, fussiness, vomiting).
Quail eggs have similar nutritional value to chicken eggs — no special advantage. If you decide to serve them, they must be thoroughly cooked (boiled until solid) and cut into small, easily chewed pieces — quail eggs are small, so serving whole is risky for choking.
When trying for the first time, follow the single-new-food rule: introduce in the morning, offer a small amount, and observe your baby throughout the day for reactions.
If this is your baby's first time trying eggs or there's a family allergy history, ask your pediatrician first — they may supervise or guide a home test with gently warmed eggs.
