1 dozen Celadon Quail hatching eggs. (we include a couple extra eggs when available)
*There is currently no wait time on Celadon eggs.
Please visit our Celadon Page for a full description of this breed here.
100% of our Celadon Quail will lay blue eggs. You will get a sampling of eggs from all of our Celadon breeding pens for a variety of feather color possibilities.
*There is no guarantee on hatching eggs (see disclaimer below). We DO offer a live guarantee on chick orders, so if hatching eggs are not worth the risk for you or you are a new to hatching, you may feel better about ordering live chicks which have a shorter wait time and come guaranteed! 😁
We pack all our hatching eggs in specially made foam egg shippers to ensure safe arrival and protect the egg’s air-cell as much as possible during shipping. All eggs are shipped 1-3 day priority mail, and held at your local post office for pickup, to minimize time in the delivery vehicles. We ship only the freshest eggs to you for maximum viability, no more than 2 days old at the time of shipment. We include a hatching guide with every egg order.Shipping is $20.00 flat-rate for a box that holds up to 2 dozen quail eggs
PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER BELOW, BEFORE PURCHASING HATCHING EGGS.
*Your eggs will be held for pickup at your local post office, please provide a phone number for the PO to reach you, once they arrive.
**If you have any dates that you will not be able to receive your eggs (will be out of town, etc) please note that when you place your order. We will continually be in touch with you about the progress of your order.
***HATCHING EGG DISCLAIMER:
Eggs are a gamble. There is no guarantee of hatchability when you purchase fertile eggs through the mail or in person. Even the freshest eggs, under ideal conditions, don’t always develop and hatch. I usually see a 75-80% hatch rate at our farm, which I am happy with. With shipped eggs, I consider 50% an excellent hatch rate. Shipping the eggs can greatly reduce hatchability. I have had shipped eggs hatch out 100% and some none at all. That is simply the risk of hatching eggs, especially shipped eggs.
Remember, lack of any development (showing clear when candled) does NOT equal infertility. Many factors can cause a fresh, fertile egg to become inviable and fail to develop.
I sell the exact same eggs to you that I put in my own incubator every week, so am constantly tracking fertility. I only sell eggs from flocks with proven excellent fertility. I do my best to package your eggs carefully and send extras when available, and I have had Very good experience with shipping eggs via the USPO. However, I have no control over the eggs once they leave the farm. I cannot control the conditions of the eggs once in the possession of the postal service, such as temperature fluctuations, handling practices of the boxes, air pressure changes (when shipped via plane), x-raying, etc. I also have no control over your individual incubator, broody hen, or incubation techniques.
Please know that you bear all the risk and responsibility when buying hatching eggs.
No guarantees are offered
CELADON QUAIL
The Celadon Quail are a special variety of Coturnix Quail who carry a rare, recessive gene (the celadon gene) which causes their eggs to be a gorgeous blue color (often with brown speckles!). We breed for seven different feather colors… Scarlett, Rosetta, Tibetan, Scarlett Tuxedo, Rosetta Tuxedo, Tibetan Tuxedo, and English White.
This has been a long-time project of ours, selectively breeding for blue egg layers. We have finally gotten to where our Celadons breed ‘True’. This means that 100% of these quail will lay blue eggs. This is a BIG DEAL in the Celadon world! Currently, we are one of only a couple breeders in the country breeding this variety of quail who have achieved true-blue laying Celadons.
EASY TO CARE FOR
Quail need a slightly different setup than chickens; they do really well in little “quail-tractors” or a rabbit-hutch style house. They do not roost, but rather, like to have a small shelter on the ground to sleep and lay their eggs in. They are amazingly cold hardy and lay more than our chickens! During the laying season they lay 1 egg nearly every day, and will lay 300+ eggs per year if given supplemental lighting in the winter.
For more info, check out our blog post all about getting started with quail, here.
QUAIL EGGS ARE A SUPERFOOD
Their eggs are tiny and PACKED with nutrients. They are a great low-calorie, protein-rich food. They are creamy and delicious, and cannot carry salmonella, so can safely be eaten raw. The health benefits of quail eggs include their ability to improve vision and immunity, boost energy levels, reduce inflammation, and stimulate growth and repair in the body. Quail eggs also help to boost metabolism, reduce blood pressure, and soothe allergies, among others!
PERFECT FOR THE HOMESTEAD
Who doesn’t need a few quail in their life?! They are tiny little packages that pack a nutritional punch! The males’ crow is a soft trill, like a song-bird, and so, many urban families who cannot have roosters, opt for a few backyard quail. We think you will love their sweet, quirky little personalities as much as we have!i
