When this question has come up in the past (err. now why would I
ask a question like that? :-) ) the responses have varied from use
Bantam chicken eggs, that quail eggs could be found in many Asian
grocery stores, to comments on raising your own quail.

There are a number of comments on quail eggs and quail egg sources
in these files in the FOOD section of the Florilegium:

meats 
                                       and other foods.
eggs-msg         (125K)  7/26/00    Egg storage. Recipes. Substitutions.

I think there might also be some info on pickling eggs in this file:
