Daily Bread Homestead Coturnix Quail Fertile Hatching Eggs - 12ct + Extras

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.

I wanna start by saying customer service is very quick, pleasant, and helpful. I ran into an issue with shipping and it got solved quickly. I ordered 48 Quail Eggs, I’m very pleased with the packaging, quick shipping. The eggs were packaged amazingly with a nice slip of all the information needed to know. I got a total of 52 as 4 were extra. I broke down my hatch rate in different parts total eggs, order eggs and incubation eggs. My rate was wayyy above 80% for each part. I followed the directions exactly how it said. The egg colors are different patterns which is nice, the size is super cute, and very clean. I ended up hatching 41/45 which puts my hatch rate at a 91%, 41/48 is 85%. So I’m very pleased. They hatched on day 17,18, & 19. I had 3 late bloomers. I am posting this on day 19. I will update on how they turn out. However, I did have a sad day yesterday as I had 2 eggs that had movement but didn’t fully make it out. I ended up hatching twins but they didn’t make it, which made me so sad, but I’m very honored to have experienced that. Overall, I’m very happy to say I’ll be doing business with them again and it’s worth my money! Thank you for inspiring me and being so thoughtful! Update: So I have 38 quail alive at 3 weeks of age. They are blooming and so adorable. My kids love feeding them. I'm still happy with my hatch rate, and the amount I have now. Again, thank you for the amazing hatching experiencing.

I received the eggs well packed but after I open the box I read a note that was sent with them saying that they had lost electricity and the eggs might not be good, if that was the case they should have never sent them out but I went ahead and set them anyway. Six of the 12 eggs hatched but only lived a few hours they never stood they did not seem right even though the thermostat and the humidity was correct and I'd never had any problems with it before I believe they were just weak from the non-refrigeration and shipping so I lost all of them. Six of the eggs were not even hatchable Update unfortunately the quails that hatched all passed away within 2 days none could get up and really walk even though I followed instructions and had raised quail before.

As described, 12 eggs plus 2 extras were sent. I was concerned when I picked up the package because the box was crushed a bit despite a very clear “Fragile” sticker on it. But once opened, they were very well packaged and there was no damage to any of the eggs. They send a sticker showing the day they were collected. I let the eggs sit for 24 hours to settle as recommended for shipped eggs. I placed the eggs in the incubator (dropped one in the process so 13 eggs were set) on May 29th. By the end of week one, only 1 egg showed to not be fertile. Put them in lockdown in June 13th (2 eggs stopped developing by lockdown), and had babies popping out June 14th. Out of the 14 eggs sent, 13 placed in the incubator with 10 healthy babies! 77% hatch rate is pretty good for shipped eggs! Already ordered my next batch! Edit for batch 2! We are less than a week from hatch day! ALL 14 EGGS WERE FERTILE! One egg was an early quitter (it happens). The remaining 13 are all developing and show movement! Will update again after hatch day! Edit 2: Out of the 14 eggs, we now have 11 energetic babies! Along with the egg we lost in last edit, we lost another a few days after and ended up with 12 when lockdown arrived. We lost one after pipping the next day (ruptured its yolk sack and left a mess in the incubator). Woke up the day after lockdown with 4 healthy babies. The rest followed through the rest of the day with a 78% hatch rate! Again, another great hatch rate for shipped eggs. My next batch from seller should be here any day! I do want to add that the first batch we received were all Pharaohs. The second batch we got were a variety of colors!

First, I would like to appreciate how they were packaged, they all came in a little box in foam without any damage to any of the eggs, I also like how it included a little card with the date they were laid which is handy under normal circumstances, and there was no damage to any of the eggs upon initial candling so they certainly did that perfectly, the little QR code with a guide to incubating was neat too. That being said, despite following to a T with an aftermarket hydrometer and thermometer, automatic egg turner and every bell and whistle imaginable, 0 hatched or even had the hint of developing. I ordered in May and while the shipping was quick, I can only believe the male must not have been doing much at their farm. I wish they would be open about the birds not wanting to always breed instead of wasting my time and money on this. If they weren’t kept in a 99.8 degree box for the past 21 days I’d just eat them for some type of usefulness. Disappointed but not surprised at the same time.

I ordered a dozen eggs and recieved 14 in the mail. For note, they were scheduled to arrive on a Monday, and they ended up being delivered 5 days early, so I had to scramble to get my incubator running. So if I was to order again I would definitely keep a closer eye on the usps tracking website. Out of the 14 eggs, 2 were non-viable at 7days incubation. 11 hatched on incubation day 16. One had prolapsed intensines and unfortunately didn't make it. The remaining 10 are doing well and look perfect. 71% hatch and survival rate on my order. Update: one additional died before fully mature. Out of the remaining 9, 5 hens, 4 roos. One hen never laid eggs, not sure if it was just sterile or what. One hen is jumbo, a solid 8 grams bigger than her sisters. All are still thriving spring 2025. Excellent layers overall. All White color with black speckles

The order took a week to arrive. I let the eggs rest the recommended 24 hours after shipping and lighted to check on them before placing in the incubator about half seemed to show signs of sticking (the yolk lining wouldn't move when turning the egg). Still, I placed all for incubation. I checked eggs again under light on day 7 and tossed 5 since the whole egg lit up with no signs of development, another 7 were questionable since the egg shell is hard to see through but left them. On lockdown day when removing the tray, I again, checked the remaining eggs and tossed out another 9 that showed no development/ failed development. There were 3 that were questionable but felt 60% confident on the remaining 11. Of those only four pipped, 3 hatched successfully and the fourth passed before I was able to intervene. Hopefully the those three make it. DO NOT RECOMEND. This was money down the drain and from what I can tell of other reviews the company wont even try to reach out so I am not going to waste anymore of my time.

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.
