Not the best picture but it shows what I mean over a 4 day period.

If you have your coturnix separated, its a lot easier to notice. Each bird lays an identifiable egg. This pic is from a handful I had separated for a buyer. There's little dark bottom, marbled, moustache pattern, and the speckler. Some birds lay a much less speckled or plain egg, but certain features are easy to pick out.

I have other birds that are prone to laying double yolkers or nearly white eggs.

if they lay their eggs in a pool of water, the eggs will still be soft and rubbery

Oh man, that'd be weird. Quail like a dust bath, and will lay 99% of their eggs in their sandbox. A kitty litter scoop every couple weeks will keep it clean. I keep it full of sand, DE, ash from my wood stove, etc.
