Daily Bread Homestead Coturnix Quail Fertile Hatching Eggs - 48 Ct + 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.

Shipping was fast, taking only a day or two to arrive. However, the customer service experience that followed was incredibly frustrating. When I reached out to express my dissatisfaction with the outcome, I was met with lectures about equipment and relentless questioning about my process. While verifying details is fair to an extent, I followed instructions by the book and know what I am doing. All of my incubating equipment was fully calibrated and accurate throughout the process, and I have successfully hatched mailed eggs from other companies using this exact setup. Furthermore, I even consulted with the veterinarian at my job, who has extensive experience with quail and successful hatches herself. Ultimately, only 6 of the 27 eggs hatched. One hatched slightly early, likely due to another chick jostling the egg. While I am happy with the healthy chicks I have and think they are very cute, I am deeply disappointed with the final outcome. While I understand that shipping stress can impact hatch rates, a 22% success rate is unacceptable. The exceptionally poor fertility rate—with most eggs never passing the yolk stage—made this investment a waste of money. I take incubation very seriously because I enjoy it so much, and based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company. After going back and forth via email, dealing with repetitive lectures, and realizing they weren't even reading my previous messages, all I wanted was a refund for the $28 I spent. Unfortunately, after reading similar reviews from other customers sharing the exact same experience, I have very little confidence that this company will address these quality issues or make it right.

I ordered on May 8, 2026. They are 12 in total but there are 2 extra quail eggs. They arrived on May 13, we gave them a rest and set up the incubator for them. That same day we put them in the incubator, we candelled we saw that you can see inside that 6 have become firm and the others you can see that they have veins. It has been 19 days since we bought them. but they have been in the incubator for 14 days. so will see the next chapter. I will update on here later. Updated! It has been more than 21 days, and only one egg has hatched. The others tried to hatch, but all progress stopped after 24 hours. It is okay, though we know there is nothing we can do about it now. This is our first time experiencing this, but it was still so exciting to watch the eggs you cared for in the incubator. We are leaving a positive review because we know this is just nature. I do not want a refund since this is live poultry production, not a regular item. You did your best! Thank you….

My eggs were stranded at a shipping hub in Florida for days before moving through the system to Wisconsin. This is not the sellers fault! I did incubate the eggs and despite the fact that they were a bit older than I would normally use, I had 5 of 14 eggs hatch. The quail are now nearly seven weeks old and are so tiny. I have a hatch that is nearly four weeks old that are bigger than these! I don't know if it was the less than optimal shipping that caused the chicks to have poor growth, but they are more comparable to button quail than to my standard coturnix. I have had to house them separately from the rest of the covey so they do not get hurt. Aside from their small size, they appear to be healthy and have been laying (tiny) eggs for nearly two weeks.

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.

So I ordered a couple months back and this was my first try at hatching quail eggs. I received 14 eggs and right of the bat on day 7 only 9 were fertile. Once lock down came around I followed their Instruction card and what not and at the end of the hatch only 7 made it two eggs were fully developed but they just never hatched and died in the shell. Once the hatched chick’s started growing on day three one died and I was left with 6. Once they started to grow everything seemed ok until I noticed one of them had a deformity unfortunately her spine was curved and she couldn’t produce eggs so we ended up culling her. Also I ended up with one male which was super difficult to feather sex due to alot of speckles on his chest and he was very aggressive so we had to cull as well. So in the end I am left with 4 females. After this whole experience I thought maybe I did something wrong, but I ended up ordering from another seller and I had a 90% hatch rate and I would say the quality of the birds from the other seller were a lot higher the eggs were larger and the birds in general seemed healthier. I’m wondering if there is maybe alot of inbreeding and it’s caused some issues and a weak offspring.

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

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.

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.
