You eat them for sure.
The sora type (what we were shooting here), is very small so it takes several to make a meal. They're very tasty, Brother Kaas and I cooked up a batch the evening after the shoot.
The clappers are hit and miss, sometimes they're fantastic and sometimes they're very fishy. First time I ever ate them they were literally some of the best wild game I've ever had. Another time (same recipe) they were as fishy as merganser. Just depends on what they've been feeding on I'd imagine.

P.S. I'm assuming you meant the rails. We don't eat the pigeons after the pigeon shoots.....
