Daily Bread Homestead 30 Fertile Coturnix Quail Hatching Eggs

We ordered 30eggs. The package Took a while to get picked up after a label was generated which worried me. So I reached out to ask why and they informed me that they do it that way to ensure order quality. So I was patient and waited for my eggs. I Received 32 eggs when I only ordered 30, so that was very nice. All eggs were in perfect shape. No cracks or anything. We ended up getting an incubator that was not very good unfortunately, but even with sub par equipment 29 out of the 32 eggs hatched. Out of the 3 eggs that didn't hatch. One was fully developed and piped the egg but couldn't get out, one died at around day 7 or 9 of incubation, and the last egg that did not hatch was not fertilized at all. 2 ended up dying after hatching. One couldn't walk and over heated and died, the other one I'm pretty sure died from being scared to death from me accidently dropping a bowl of their hatched shells into the brooder. There is also one that was born with curved toes. He's doing great, and another one with a curved neck. Which I figured would die, but it's been a week and it's still going strong. So I'm just gonna let it live it's best life. I would definitely recommend buying eggs from this seller. It was a great experience. My first experience, but a great one. I'm in TN and had to get them shipped from FL. I was expecting only half to mature because of that, and got 29 to hatch and have 27 birds total so far a week after hatching them. All while using probably the worst quality incubator ever lol. The quail I received were pharoah patterned as well. Very pretty!

I WAS LITTLE BIT HESITANT, ABOUT PURCHASSING HATCHING EGGS OVER AMAZON, BUT I GAVE IT A SHOT. EGGS CAME IN VERY FAST FROM SELLER TO KANSAS. USPS WAS VERY NEGLIGENT HOW THEY HANDLED THE PACKAGE.I SAW THAT ON THE BOX EGGS CAME IN, DESPITE THE LABELING(HANDLE WITH CARE FRAGILE!) AFTER I OPENED THE PACKAGE, I LEFT THE EGGS STAY OVER THE NIGHT IN GARAGE. NEXT DAY I SET UP R-COM INCUBATOR TO 99,5 FAHRENHEIT AND 45% HUMIDITY, WITH TURNING RATE EVERY 3 HOURS. AFTER 7 DAYS I CANDLED THE EGGS. PHOTO SHOW HOW FERTILIZED EGG LOOKS LIKE. ONLY TWO EGGS WERE NOT FERTILE. SO I HAD 30 EGGS LEFT TO CONTINUE INCUBATION. AFTER DAY 14 I STOPPED EGG TURNER AND INCREASED HUMIDITY TO 60%. LITTLE CUTE CHICKS STARTED POPING OUT AFTER TWO DAYS, TOTALING 25 BABIES TOTAL. THAT IS INCREDIBLY GOOD DUE TO THE TRANSPORT STRESS. DRAWN SAFE WATERER IS MUST HAVE, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THIS ADORABLE BIRDS SAFE. FINE PINE SHAWINGS AND CERAMIC 150 WATT HEATER IS ALSO WHAT I WILL RECOMEND.AS FOOD I USE GAME BIRD STARTER WITH 24% PROTEIN, PREVIOUSLY MAKE SMALLER IN FOOD PROCESSOR,OTHERWISE TINY BIRDS WILL BE NOT ABLE TO CONSUME LARGER CRUMBLES.AFTER ONE WEEK I SWITCHED TO 28% PROTEIN GAME BIRD CRUMBLES FROM NUTRENA TILL THE AGE OF 6WEEKS. BIRDS ARE SO GOOD LOOKING AND THE SELLER EVEN SENT 4-6 DIFFERENT COLOR BIRDS. THEY ARE SO ADORABLE. I ALSO SWITCHED TO NIPLE WATERER, TO AVOID MESS THIS LITTLE ONES CREATING BY SPREADING PINE SHAVINGS IN OPEN WATERER. AFTER ONLY SIX WEEKS, QUAILS STARTED LAYING FIRST EGGS! ADULT BIRDS ARE NOW GOOD LOOKING AND HEALTHY. WE GET EVERYDAY OVER A DOZEN OF TASTY EGGS! I AM DEFFINITELLY RECOMENDING THIS SELLER TO POTENTIAL BUYING CUSTOMERS.

Ordered from them 3 times. 3rd time came from somewhere else. First and second time ordering, came from Main, was packaged wonderfully, had 10 extra eggs, came with instructions, and was delivered 2-3 days after it was shipped. I had great success and had about 28 hatch from each order. I was very happy with the results and decided to order again. The third order came from Tennessee, was in transit for a week and a half, was packaged sparsely, had exactly 30 eggs and some were broken. Only had 8 potentially viable eggs at lockdown after candling and only had 4 hatch. They seem to have wildly different outcomes and that seems to be because the eggs come from different vendors, which is weird because it did not say that they come from different places. I am very unhappy with this and that’s why I’m writing this review.

Edit: I've received extra eggs and this the packaging has been improved. ----------------------------- Hatch rate around 50% Of the 30 eggs 10 were infertile and 5 didn't hatch. I did have 1 that has some physical issues, 1 with umbilical cord still attached, and 1 that was essentially "inside out." 12 hatched on day 18 with some sound of other quail coaxing with 3 day 19 with one that needed some help but is alright. It took a while to get the eggs due to the holidays so 50% is as expected, and surprising, given the infertile eggs I was sent.

Eggs hatched at about the normal hatch rate. Lost a couple in the brooder, but they did hatch. No eggs were broken. Arrived on time in a nice foam protective container. They are very delicate right after hatching. The video shows 9 quail made it past 2 weeks. One looks half sized and we'll see if it survives, but the rest are doing fine. Yes, there's a baby chick in there too, but I will be moving it to the brooder with the rest of the chicks and ducklings. It just hatched 5 minutes ago. I wouldn't recommend that you normally keep baby quail and chicks together. The bigger chicks will trample the smaller quail to death. Ask me how I know. Overall, nice hatch, worth it if you're interested in starting a flock of quail.

I purchased a 30ct of hatching eggs, was pleasantly surprised to receive 38. They were packed safe and sound in memory foam and all arrived intact with no damage. I let them sit and rest on the counter for 24hrs before placing in the incubator. Eggs started wiggling at day 13, and hatched on day 16 of incubation. I got 16 chicks out of 38 eggs, which is a fairly typical hatch rate for shipped eggs. I am very pleased with the variety of colors! Ranging from one solid white chick to a couple melanistic black with brown Tibetan with black legs! There are several Pansy and Felb Fee colored chicks, a couple Sparkly Pharoah, and several were hatched from blue celadon eggs. All in all, very pleased with my purchase and would order again! Thank you!
