Mexican Speckled Bobwhite Quail - PRE-ORDERS 2025

These eggs will become available from September onwards and only once sexing has been checked and we are happy. If for any reason, we can't produce your order a a full refund will be given.

Man we love these birds, so full of character and personality, stunning to look at, and very easily tamed. They were a must as soon as the kids decided that quail was there thing!

We love having these tiny rugby balls of attatude, and I'm so pleased that the kids wanted to get some soon after hatching our first few batches of coturnix! With the addition of some new birds this winter we now have a group of around 12 hens and 8 cocks. So we should have plenty of lovely hatching eggs this season, we expect the first ones to be posted after fertility testing around the first or second of April.

These are easy birds to keep and are ideally suited to aviaries and large pens, they do well in pairs or small groups and breed freely, like the CPQ often hatching their own eggs and raising a brood without trouble.

We'll be pre-selling a limited amount of sexed and full colour Snowflake Bobwhite Quail Pairs this year until the end of April, and then we won't have any more until the orders have been filled. Keep popping back to check on the avalability though as it will be first come first sered. Orders will be filled in the order they are placed. We'll make contact once the birds start laying to advise on a rough availability date and follow this up a few weeks before they are ready for collection or shipping. If for any reason the orders can't be fulfilled a full refund will be given. Based on recent years it's safe to assume the birds will be ready around the second week in September onwards.

ABOUT US

Im sure you've read about us and this already but here it is again.

Here’s our background story! You know how it goes, you buy some eggs to hatch to show the children, and they get bored after a while… well that’s what I thought would happen!! Turns out it’s quite the opposite. THEY LOVE THEM!

So we hatch a few more and a few more and now we have loads of eggs. And all although we pickle some and give some to the neighbors it’s more than we can eat (and hatch) the children are just old enough to learn and have an interest in money and pocket money and we thought what better way to teach them about it and give them a bit more responsibility than to let them sell some eggs properly. We really enjoy having the quail and it gets the kids outside doing things whatever the weather.

The quail themselves are a beautiful mix of colors and are ultra-friendly, they are kept very clean, and they get a diet of mixed seeds, chick crumb, layers mash, fresh homegrown salad, and kale every day 🥒🥬.

These delightful little birds are some of our favorites, about the size of a sparrow and full of character. Their eggs are teeny tiny about the size of a small thumbnail. These birds will live very happily in pairs often brooding and hatching their eggs, they are also suited to small colonies, where there are multiple males we suggest 2-3 hens per boy.
As a side note, as in all egg listings that we’ve ever bought we can’t offer a refund on eggs that don’t hatch as there are just to many factors that are out of our control, like what Incubator you use, where it’s sited, how much water you use, how many times the eggs are turned and the temperature to name but a few. These along with the postal system can all have an impact on hatch rates of what are good fertile eggs. We hatch regularly so we know they are good and we really wouldn’t list them for sale otherwise. Damaged eggs on arrival though are a different matter, if there is something that we have done wrong during the packaging stage that has led to damaged or broken eggs we are more than happy to replace them. As said though, please get in touch first or during incubation for help on what works best for us.
All eggs will be packaged safely and securely, labeled and wrapped in fragile tape, and are posted Monday to Thursday, the eggs themselves are collected daily in the afternoon and should all be from the day you buy them. The post office is just down the road so if they are bought in the morning we’ll try and get that day's eggs in the post to you the same day.

Sadly due to the world having another funny five minutes and the price of feed, fuel, electricity, shavings, postage, and just about everything else going, up I’m afraid we’ve had to have a slight increase in the cost of the eggs… We are biased I know but we still really think they are well worth the money.

Birds. Obviously, we don't post birds but collection is very welcome we can also arrange to meet at local bird sales if possible and a nationwide animal courier can be used for people further away at cost and availability for them.

Accessories, much like the eggs will be well-packaged and sent first class and for next-day delivery unless arranged otherwise.

Any questions please feel free to message us, and we’ll help as much as we can.
