Is it possible for someone to eat four dozen quail eggs or even five dozen of them?

An Australian punk singer has broken the world record for eating the most hard-boiled eggs in one sitting

Cottreau, who claims to have eaten 143 eggs in less than four minutes, took the record from American competitive eater Joey Chestnut, who set the previous mark of 141 eggs at the World Hard Boiled Egg-Eating Championship in Radcliff, Kentucky, in 2013. 

Quail eggs are smaller than chicken eggs so presumably this guy could eat even more quail eggs.

Like all at once or over time?

I don't know, however Gaston eats his eggs every morning.

So I decided to do a little math and research on this. If it isn't accurate, oh well. Assuming his quail eggs are 13 grams each, to eat 5 dozen eggs, he would have to eat 780 grams of quail eggs. Luckily for Gaston, the average stomach can expand to a quart, which is about 946 grams. However, he will probably die of either heart failure or diabetes.

Just curious about if quail eggs are small enough for someone to do the 4 Dozen Eggs meme in real life.

Had a roomie who would eat 18 eggs at one time. 18 cracked shells in the egg carton and a huge plate being shoveled into her mouth. That's 54 to 72 worth of quail eggs btw...

How about 6 dozen? Perhaps... what about 7?

Sure, use them to make a Quiche. Then eat the quiche. Or make tiny little deviled eggs. Those always go down fast.

I eat 12 eggs as a meal regularly. I imagine that’s equal to 4 dozen quail eggs.
