Chinese Painted Quail hatching eggs

Our Chinese Painted Quail Hatching Eggs are sold in packs of 12 and collected from our established breeding groups, which we hatch from regularly to monitor fertility.

Chinese Painted Quail, also commonly known as Button Quail, are tiny ornamental quail. Their eggs are exceptionally small, and the resulting chicks are correspondingly tiny, making them quite different from the much larger Japanese/Coturnix quail commonly kept for egg production.

Our breeding groups include a variety of colours, so chicks can hatch in a mixture of different colours and markings.

We hatch regularly throughout the year to monitor fertility, and only offer hatching eggs from proven breeding groups.

All hatching eggs are carefully selected before packing. Eggs sent by post are securely packed in purpose-made polystyrene egg boxes and then further boxed to provide additional protection during transit, helping them arrive in the best possible condition.

Postage

Hatching eggs are posted Monday to Thursday only. We do not post eggs on Fridays, as this avoids them being held within the Royal Mail network over the weekend.

UK postage and packaging is £5.95 and is added at checkout. Combined postage is also available at checkout.

Collection is also available directly from The Hatch Shed in White Colne, near Colchester, Essex, Co62pr.

Please note: While we take great care in selecting and packaging our hatching eggs, we cannot guarantee the fertility or hatch rate of eggs once posted, as handling during transit and incubation conditions are outside our control. Fertility should be assessed by candling during incubation.
