Calico Quail Hatching Eggs

Our Calico Coturnix Quail are a true work of art — each one dressed in a patchwork of soft tans, whites, and chestnut browns that make every bird a little bit unique. These calm, friendly quail are not just pretty faces; they’re hardy, reliable layers that thrive in both backyard setups and small farm flocks.

Every Calico egg we ship comes from healthy, well-cared-for breeder birds raised on quality feed, clean water, and plenty of fresh air. We hand-collect and gently pack each egg to ensure it arrives in great condition, ready to bring new life to your incubator. The Calico line has been selectively bred for its beautiful feather patterns, even temperaments, and dependable fertility.

Incubation takes about 17 to 18 days at 99.5°F, with humidity levels between 45 and 50 percent. When you reach lockdown, increase humidity to around 65 to 70 percent for best results. Let your eggs rest pointed side down for 12 to 24 hours before incubation, and don’t wash them — that natural protective coating helps keep your hatchlings safe and sound.

While hatch rates can vary depending on your incubator and care, we do everything we can to give your quail the best possible start. Watching those first chicks hatch out of their speckled shells never fails to bring a smile — it’s what we call hatching happiness.

Hatching happiness, one egg at a time.
