Turnbull Farms Purebred Jumbo Brown Coturnix Quail Hatching Eggs - 16 Dozen (192)

Arrived on time, packed very well. All eggs looked great. Out of 12, 8 hatched between days 16 and 17. I lost one very small one (my fault, had a power cord issue with the brooder, worked a long shift and found them all cold when I returned home. All were brown and black as pictured except one yellow with one small brown spot on head and one on the back. The 7 remaining are doing great, growing like mad! I am very pleased. The little eggs actually started to visibly move 3 days prior to hatching. The remaining 4 that were unhatched were opened - 3 were unfertilized and one was a milky liquid with a foul odor. No evidence of chicks, so I suppose likely not fertile.Addendum: all chicks from first shipment doing great! The yellow one turned in to a white bird with 3 patches of brown. He's a striking bird. I wound up with 4 males and 3 females. Second shipment arrived just as well packaged as the first, all eggs look great. I will be hatching them out shortly.

I ordered 24 eggs. The eggs where packaged as you would expect them to be. Fragile was printed all over the box. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal service is incompetent. When I picked my package up at the post office the clerk literally shook my package in front of me. When I protested and told him there were eggs in it he told me then it should say so on the package. I then pointed out that the word fragile was stamped about 50 times all over it. "That means nothing to us and I guarantee this package has been thrown around the last 2 days." His exact words to me.Needless to say right off the bat 6 eggs were fractured when candled. My second candle showed 12 of 18 now developing. Third and final candle 3 days before hatch showed 12 chicks. Hatch day 8 made it out. One died. The other four never cracked the shell. I don't now what the post offices part was in my hatch out rate but I do know they "culled" 6 eggs before they even made it to the incubator.I ordered 24 hoping for at least half to hatch and a mixed bag as I'm trying to breed for meat and eggs. I have 7 healthy chicks 9 day old chicks. Unfortunately their feathers are telling me they are all female. Just looking to produce eggs and meat for my family and I. Thank you Turnbull for prompt and courteous service. I give the U.S. Postal service a big thumbs down.

Cannot complain. They were packaged nicely and no breakages. Put them in incubator and have 5 days left before hatching. Will update if great hatch or not soon. OK, hatch day, got 9 out of 12 to hatch. Not shabby, that is a 75% hatch rate. No complaints. Thanks

I ordered 12 eggs, one was broken on arrival. From 11 eggs 4 babies hatched. I have my own quails so, I just wanted to get some different blood birds. From my quails 20 eggs 9 chicks hatched. So it is probably the same percentage of hatching. But eggs and quail chicks from Turnbull farm larger than mine.

This is my third attempt to hatch quails and I am successful and happy this time . I got 10 out of 24 .I used my home made incubator . I know that I could have had better hatch if I used a good incubator . At least 60% hatch, for some reason about in 6 eggs chick has grown fully yet did not come out. Feel so sad. Thanks Turnbull farm for quality eggs. Sadly I lost one out of 10. Now I have 9 , 6 weeks old quails they are all happy and healthy. Thanks again Turnbull farm.

I wrote a review and spamazon wouldn't accept it. The seller packed the eggs great. Actually above and beyond expectations. I recieved them late due to snail mail, even though it was priority. But it wasn't smashed or frozen at least. These are big eggs and should be big quail. I will update with hatch rate.I'm very happy with the purchase!EDIT10 hatched and are growing fast!

Packing was great. I had 6 hatch which is good for me buying shipped fertile eggs. I would recommend to anyone

My first time hatching, so I am actually quite happy for 3 happy healthy chicks, of 5 that made it to embryos.
