Daily Bread Homestead Coturnix Quail Fertile Hatching Eggs - 12 Ct + Extras 24 Count (Pack of 1)

Read so you know what you are getting into!! I did not get a great hatch rate BUT i still got 5 birds. What you need to know when doing this is if you ship eggs you are literally shipping embryos that are subjected to turbulence and temperature changes. If you want a large quality better guaranteed you need to find someone local. Ordering off Amazon is for people who can not. This seller ships fast, packaged eggs well , provided a great hatching guide, and has customer service. When you ship eggs it is way more probable to not have a great hatch rate. They are delicate. The birds i did get are healthy and coming on 6 weeks and going strong. Follow the hatching guide.

Latest Update: 5/22/2024 A week ago, today my quail hatched. Of 14 eggs, 12 Hatched. I am not sure what happened with the other eggs that didn't hatch but it seems they just stopped developing. Out of the 12 quail that hatch, 2 passed. I now have 10, very hyper and eating machines of baby quail. lol. I have learned so much so far, such as you're going to want to grind up your quail food a bit more than it comes to help them be able to eat it. I purchased a coffee grinder from Walmart and just processed it all down. They love it and eat a lot each day. My quail are even growing in their wing feathers now which is really interesting to watch. A couple of them were hatched with curled toes...don't freak out if you see this. It could simply be the size of the shell, or even the humidity in your incubator. But I didn't have to do anything special, and their toes straightened right out in a couple days. Over all, I am very satisfied with this seller and the eggs I got. I feel I had a very successful hatch rate. I will more than likely purchase again in the future once I gain my skills a bit more with what I have. Update: May 11th 2024 Today is day 14. So lock down day. Some of my eggs are wiggling and I have also candled all eggs and all 14 eggs have developed properly so far. No dead eggs and no unfertilized. Today I took out the egg turner that turns the eggs every two hours, and I placed paper towel down on the bottom of the incubator and placed all eggs back in, put the humidity to 65, and now we wait. So far so good. Now let's see how many hatches and how many survive the first 48 hours, which is the most important time for baby quail. Will update more to come. (04/27/2024) My eggs arrived all nicely wrapped. I was very careful when removing all the packing stuff so as not to accidentally break them. I checked all eggs, not a single one was damaged. I have them in an incubator that auto turns them every 2 hours. It also has the ability to keep the humidity in the proper zone and an alarm will sound if it goes to much out of range for temp and humidity. I will update when they hatch but so far so good.

I only ordered 12. Night 16 around midnight started hatching until about 7pm when 13 hatched. 14th did not grow at all. Physically healthy and happy very friendly and cuddly, a little timid. First egg hatching, but I do have some experience with rodents. I just followed the daily bread guide closely. Eggs arrived on time and by delivery instructions. I let rest for about 7 nights point downwards until incubator came. Eggs looked good and neat, but one appeared to have a pin hole. Might be the 14th egg. Early issues: eggs got wet for a min and humidity was high for 48-72 hrs (new egg Hatcher, $30 12 egg rotating with air flow). Good for price but no door so when I opened quail scattered 2 fell, 1 limped for a while but seemed to recover quickly. I would definitely repurchase. Good eggs. Good Looking hatchling quails. Scored low because of the evil spirits messing everything up. Website pictures are out of focus/synch, people and quail possessed. Literally. All animals in My vicinity are demon possessed. Amazon website does not work in a user friendly pattern. Algorithms are functioning against Me. Opposite would be a good way to describe it. (Evil spirits reprogrammed it.) I would know I’m a mental health specialist and ranking member of church. Most of y’all don’t seem to want to fix the important stuff. After the demons are dealt with and the people who harbor them, I can potentially improve review. But eggs are good, I mean 13/12. 14th was opened on 20th night and was all liquid (they give 2 extra and have a gaurentee). All 13 quail did well initially but died quickly in brooder from cold. 95F Hot spots weren’t enough for the tiny chicks. A few managed to survive and the brooder setup improved. Hottest spot is around 105+ F. They are much happier and healthier. I would recommend a very warm brooder temp. Their flight feathers should be in soon.

Package arrived with 3 broken eggs, had to pay a duty fee I was unaware of. Costing me 140 dollars all together and lastly none of the eggs hatched. Requested a refund with no response. Waste of money will not buy again.
