quail egg and a golf ball

Was golfing today and shanked one into a bush in the desert. Looked in one bush and found this. Do you think a ball landed here or the mama quail helped it here? No eggs were broke and it was deep in a bush.

It was not my ball, so no clue how long it was there.

I bet mom thought she lost one and put it back.

Or it was there and she decided her nest should be there as well. I've seen chickens do that.

Ball looks pretty clean,does not look like its been there long. Good find

Maybe just a lucky landing. Nice find though.

Pro V 1

Then it becomes a whole new game

Sure would like to see what hatches..............

Yes sir, that quail has expensive taste.....typical female.

I bet some egg sucking golfer stole an egg and replaced it with a golf ball.
