Baby Quail and Quail Eggs, how is that for a freak monster Quail egg as well as a Texas A and M (white quail)

Hey everyone, on my recent visit to my Dad @quailbreeder I took a few pics of his Quail and eggs. On this particular night Dad collected the usual clutch of Quail eggs to be surprised by this monster ' freak' of a quail egg.

The regular size egg is on the left, what happened and why the Jumbo apparently at times it happens. Dad once showed my a chicken egg which was almost 30% bigger than the normal eggs he usually gets, Freak of nature for sure..

Talking of freaks of nature this Quail also has a little of a different look. He is called a Texas A and M or White Coturnix as per bing tons of info here https://www.bing.com/search?q=texas%20l%20and%20m%20quail&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&pq=texas%20l%20and%20m%20quail&sc=8-14&sk=&cvid=8E88F3FE1A7A43C7915B8535CE8E24E6
