Beautiful blue Celadon quail eggs available for hatching from our flock

Our Celadon genetics Our breeding flock was hatched from a pure Celadon line, having two copies of the blue-egg gene in every breeding bird.

Both males and females pass this gene on. From our Celadon-to-Celadon pairings, all females lay beautiful blue eggs when mature, while males can pass the blue-egg genetics on to future generations.

Most Celadon lines are bred down to standard sizes, but our flock has been selectively bred for size, vigor, and egg weight. Egg Weights: Consistently hitting 12g - 16g (into the Jumbo class). Genetics: Celadon gene (recessive ce). You will hatch birds that lay beautiful blue eggs.

We've checked a sample of eggs and checked fertility, we had 85 % hatch rate, (shipping can lower hatch rate) our boys are regularly mating with the girls. Fertility and hatch rates cannot be guaranteed, as storage, handling and your incubation methods ect affect results.

About the Celadon Japanese Quail

Celadon is unique among Coturnix colours in that it changes the egg, not the bird — an autosomal recessive that makes hens lay sky-blue to pale-grey eggs instead of the usual speckled cream, while plumage stays whatever colour the bird carries. Both parents must carry the gene to produce blue-egg layers. Prized by keepers specifically for those striking eggs.
