Quail Eggs for Hatching
Due to unreliable shipping times and unpredictable conditions, we are not currently shipping eggs. Hatching eggs are local pickup in Belleville, MI or at any MBGBA bird swap event.
Eating Eggs
We do not currently sell quail eggs for human consumption.
Hatching Eggs
Hatching eggs are sold by the dozen only, with a limit of 2 dozen total eggs per order (regardless of color) and a limit of 1 dozen per kind. Hatching egg orders may take a few days, as we do our best to select the nicest eggs within a 3-day period, to ensure you are getting the freshest, best-colored, biggest eggs possible.
When we select eggs from our lines for sale, you are getting the best we can select, with nothing taken out or reserved for our own incubators. Hatching eggs from the celadons are selected carefully for the same quality that we select for when putting eggs in our own incubators, and due to the small number being laid, you are getting the exact same eggs we would have set. Size, shape, color, speckling, shell strength... all factors we pay attention to when selecting eggs for you to hatch. We're also always hatching here, and monitoring our fertility and hatch rates. Celadons tend to have a little lower fertility and hatch rate in general than normal eggers (75%+ compared to 80-90%), but if it drops for any reason (molting, moving cages, changing breeding groups, etc), we pause sales and wait until we see it recover in our own hatches. We are hoping to see an improvement in fertility and hatch rates through our outcrossing project, as many celadon lines have been severely inbred for years due to the difficulty in re-acquiring a 100% line after outcrossing.
