Coturnix Quail

Versatile • Sustainable • Apartment-Friendly

Coturnix quail are a fantastic choice for homesteaders, hobbyists, and even urban dwellers. Compact in size—about the size of a large hand—they thrive in diverse environments from farms to patios or apartments. These quail are valued not only for their gentle nature and charm as pets, but also for their practical benefits: nutritious eggs and tender meat.

Why Choose Coturnix Quail?

• Fast Maturity: Ready for meat at 6–8 weeks, start laying by 8–10 weeks.

• High Production: Up to 300 eggs per year with supplemental light.

• Space-Saving: Ideal for small spaces with protective housing.

• Quiet & Low Maintenance: Males emit a soft trill, not a crow.

• Resilient & Hardy: Tolerant of a wide range of temperatures.

• No Special Permits Needed: Great option for areas where chickens are restricted (check your local ordinances).

Quail are not free-range birds like chickens—they require safe, enclosed housing at all times. They’re easy to care for and offer a cost-effective way to boost your self-reliance.

We are proud to offer the Celadon variety of Coturnix quail—a rare and highly sought-after type known for laying gorgeous blue or blue-speckled eggs. These unique eggs are a favorite among egg collectors, chefs, and enthusiasts alike, offering not only visual beauty but also the same great nutrition and size as other Coturnix eggs. Our line of Celadon has an array of blue egg shades with speckles and some without!

The blue egg trait comes from an autosomal recessive gene. For a hen to lay blue eggs, both parents must carry the celadon gene.Because of this recessive nature, egg color is never guaranteed, but your chances improve significantly when breeding from two blue-egg parents.

We breed our Celadon line with careful attention to genetics, health, and vigor. You’ll receive birds from strong, healthy stock raised with compassion and quality care.

The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), also known as the coturnix quail, is a species of Old World quail found in East Asia. First considered a subspecies of the common quail, it is now considered as a separate species. The Japanese quail has played an active role in the lives of humanity since the 12th century, and continues to play major roles in industry and scientific research. Where it is found, the species is abundant across most of its range. Currently, there are a few true breeding mutations of the Japanese quail. The varieties currently found in the United States include Pharaoh, Italian, Manchurian, Tibetan, Rosetta, along with the following mutations: sex-linked brown, fee, roux, silver, andalusian, blue/blau, white winged pied, progressive pied, albino, calico, sparkly, as well as non-color mutations such as celadon.
