Celadon (100% True Blue) & Jumbo Pearl Fee Coturnix Quail Hatching Eggs
Celadon (True Blue) & Jumbo Pearl Fee line. Rare color mix!
Celadons
Blue eggs. You may hatch a variety of colors such as Rosetta Tuxedo, Tibetan Tuxedo, Dotted Whites, Range Tuxedo, Silver Tuxedo, Pharoah Tuxedo, and White Splashes The average weight at maturity is between 8.5 and 12 ounces. These are standard-sized quail but could reach jumbo sizing (10+ ounces). Eggs will average around 10 to 16 grams.
Pearl Fee
Regular beige speckled eggs. The average weight at maturity (10 weeks) is 10-14 ounces, and eggs will weigh 12-18 grams. All the hatching eggs will come from our Pearl Fee breeders. We have worked on this line for quite some time and are 99% hatching true. The offspring will not show any other mutations but may carry recessive traits. This means you could hatch an occasional Italian/Manchurian, Pansy Fee, or Falb Fee.
Shipping
We ship the eggs in custom foams via USPS Priority Mail or UPS 2-3 day within 24-36 hours of the eggs being laid. We keep our hatching eggs in a 55-60 degree temperature-controlled fridge pointy end down.
Disclaimer:
Due to unknown shipping & incubation factors (temperature, humidity, x-ray, rough handling, etc.), we can't be responsible for the hatch rate. However, please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or issues. We monitor the tracking #'s for every order and will reach out if we see an abnormal delay in transit (5+ days).
Hatching eggs are checked every week by our breeders to ensure 95%+ fertility.
Breeders are rotated out every 8-10 months.
Every egg is candled before packing to ensure no peck holes or cracks. (tedious but worth it!)
Fragile and hatching egg stickers are placed on the shipping box. Note: Hatching egg stickers are USPS only.
We take great pride in providing top-notch customer service and know how important and exciting your hatching egg adventure is to you.
Incubation Recommendations
-Turn on the incubator and allow the temperature to stabilize to 99.5* F and between 35-45% humidity. -Inspect your shipped eggs for cracks/damage. Do not put those in the incubator. -Rest your shipped eggs for 12-24 hours pointy side down at room temperature before incubating. -Set your eggs in the incubator, turning at least 4x per day -Incubate for 14 days and check temperature and humidity often -Move eggs into lockdown after 14 days. Remove egg turners and place eggs on hatching trays, preferably on a rough surface, so the chicks will not slip on plastics/foams. -Increase humidity to 65% -Around day 16-18, chicks will start hatching. Waiting 24-36 hours before removing chicks to avoid shrink-wrapping the remaining eggs.
Brooding Recommendations
-Prepare the brooder a day or so before the chick hatch. -The temperature should be 85* F in the coldest part and ~105* F in the hottest section. -Put room temp or warmer water and food near the heat source so the chicks can easily access them -Feed should be 28-30% starter crumble for the first six weeks -The temperature in the brooder can be lowered by 5*F per week -After seven weeks, the feed can be switched to 16-22% layer protein
