SECRET TO GREAT HATCHING OF SHIPPED EGGS: ************************************ Once your eggs arrives, unpackage them and allow them to sit for a full 24 hours before adding them to the heated incubator. This allows the air bubbles to rise up out of the yolk into the void area inside the shell. Doing this allows the chick to hatch stronger, making it possible to escape the shell. It also minimizes birth defects and maximizes hatched chick life sustainability in the first 10 days after hatching. * GENERAL INFO: Please keep in mind that I CANNOT guarantee your hatch rate due to package handling by the USPS, your incubating technique, etc. If some of your eggs fail to develop, please understand that this doesn't necessarily mean that they are not fertile, simply that the embryo may have been damaged during shipping. Most of our customers report a high % hatch rate with shipped eggs. When testing for hatch rates, I take my eggs from the quail pens to the incubator and can achieve a higher hatch rate for this reason. What I do guarantee is that you will get extremely fresh eggs at an extremely affordable price.No eggs are held over and mailed out the following day. This means that the postmark date is the date the eggs was always laid on. NPIP certified Sent usps priority mail, most locations FedEx on orders over 100 eggs Orders are shipped in exact amounts. Breakage is a risk of shipping, cannot guarantee, this can be taken up with the delivery company through a claim to their shipping policy. Bobwhite quail hatch anywhere from 19 to 27 days. The average is 23 days. Moisture level should be kept 65 to 67% and raise to 70% on this last 3 days. The temperature should be set at 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
More info on this breed: *********************** Northern Bobwhite Colinus virginianus The only native quail in the east. Its whistled bob-white! call is a familiar sound in spring in farmland and brushy pastures. The birds are heard more often than seen; although not especially shy, they often keep within dense low cover. During fall and winter, bobwhites live in coveys, averaging about a dozen birds. At night they roost on the ground in circles, tails pointed inward, heads pointed out. Conservation statusHas disappeared from much of the northern part of its range, and has declined seriously even in more southern areas. The causes for these declines are not well understood. At northern edge of range, many may be killed by unusually harsh winters, but this does not explain its widespread vanishing act. The "Masked Bobwhite," a subspecies extinct in Arizona and endangered in Mexico, is now being reintroduced into southern Arizona with only limited success.FamilyNew World QuailHabitatFarms, brushy open country, roadsides, wood edges. Found in a wide variety of semi-open habitats, including brushy meadows, overgrown fields, or where pastures or agricultural fields are next to hedgerows or woodlots. "Masked Bobwhite" of southwest inhabits ungrazed native grasslands. Feeding Behavior Forages by walking on ground, head down, searching for food by sight; sometimes moves up into vines or shrubs. Feeds in flocks (coveys) at most seasons, alone or in family groups during breeding season. Eggs Usually 12-16. White to pale buff. Incubation is by both sexes, 23-24 days. Young: Downy young leave nest shortly after hatching; are tended by both parents, but feed themselves. If danger threatens young, parents may put on distraction display. Young can make short flights at 1-2 weeks, not full-grown for several more weeks. Young Downy young leave nest shortly after hatching; are tended by both parents, but feed themselves. If danger threatens young, parents may put on distraction display. Young can make short flights at 1-2 weeks, not full-grown for several more weeks. Diet Includes seeds, leaves, insects. Diet varies with season and place. Eats many seeds (especially those of legumes), also leaves, buds, berries, acorns, roots, insects, spiders, and snails. May eat mostly seeds in winter, with more insects eaten in summer. Young birds may eat mostly insects at first. Nesting In courtship, male turns head to side to show off pattern, droops wings, fluffs up feathers, makes short rushes at female; also walks slowly around female with tail fanned, feathers fluffed up. Nest site (apparently chosen by both members of pair) is on ground among dense growth. Nest (built by both sexes) is shallow depression lined with grass, leaves. Grass and weeds are often woven into an arch over nest, making it very well hidden, with entrance at one side. Migration Permanent resident throughout range, which extends south to Guatemala.
