    Rare SILVER CELADON BLUE Coturnix quail hatching eggs. We select only the best quality blue eggs to ship. Some may have small speckles, but the majority are a clear aqua marine blue. Celadon blue eggs yield blue egg layers, some non-blue layers, and males that carry the blue egg gene.
    These eggs are all from Celadon blue layers that are SILVER, Cream, and sometimes White
    . All rare Silver colors of hens are housed with Celadon blue males of the same color. These eggs do not hatch true, but they should result in mostly silver, cream and white Celadon blue chicks. An average of 65 - 70% of hens hatched from our Silver blue eggs are blue layers.
    If extra eggs are included, they may be from other special Celadon blue colors.
    Our Birds
    We keep separate breeding pens for each type/color of bird. However, chicks from blue eggs will be a variety of colors. Our quail are kept in deep litter pens instead of wire, which can be hard on their feet. Deep liter most closely replicates the ground they would live on in nature and they have a much happier and healthier existence. Additionally, they have one square foot or more per bird, and we maintain a breeding ration of 1 male for every 4-5 hens.
    Our Blue Flock
    Our flock of Celadon blue layers has the widest variety of colors. We have equal numbers of Pastel, Buff, Red, Tuxedo, Tibetan, Jumbo Brown, and Silver blue layers. Currently we only sell Pastel Blue separately. All other Celadon blue orders will include an assortment of these colors.
    Egg Quality
    We take care to preserve the viability of our eggs. Eggs will be mostly clean but unwashed. Excessively soiled eggs are discarded. We collect eggs twice daily and ship no later than two days after they are laid. After collection, eggs are stored in a cool place and tilted several times a day to keep the air bubble from sticking. We also do regular hatches to test viability.
    Shipping
    Eggs are shipped priority in bubble wrap to reduce the chance of breakage. We generally ship from Monday through Thursday morning and sometimes Friday or Saturday, depending on the location.
