Coturnix Quail Breeder Sets

Breeder sets are one of the easiest ways to begin producing your own fertile quail eggs.

Instead of raising birds individually and trying to balance rooster-to-hen ratios yourself, breeder sets provide a ready-to-go group selected from our flock.

Many customers choose breeder sets when they want to begin hatching their own eggs or expand an existing covey.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fresh are the hatching eggs?

I collect eggs daily from our breeding groups and prioritize sending the freshest eggs possible for incubation, I aim for the same day when possible.

How long can I store eggs before incubation?

Set eggs within five days if possible, as hatch rates are usually better the sooner they are incubated. Store eggs pointed end down in a cool place around 50–60°F, and gently turn them once or twice a day if they are held longer than a couple of days.

Do you guarantee hatch rates?

Because hatch success depends heavily on incubation equipment and handling, I’m not able to guarantee hatch rates once eggs leave the farm.

Do you include hatching instructions?

Yes. Each order includes a simple hatching guide that walks through the basics we use here on the farm.

How fertile are your hatching eggs?

The eggs we sell come from active breeding groups here on the farm, and we routinely monitor fertility within our own incubations.

Hatch success depends heavily on the equipment and conditions used during incubation, including temperature stability, humidity control, egg turning, and handling during shipping or storage.

While I can’t guarantee hatch rates once eggs leave the farm, I do my best to provide fresh, fertile eggs from healthy breeding birds to give you the best possible start.

Are hatching eggs washed or refrigerated?

No. Hatching eggs are unwashed and handled specifically for incubation. Eggs we sell for eating are washed and refrigerated.
