Falb‑Fee Coturnix quail hatching eggs are a great choice for beginner quail keepers, families, and hobby flocks who want an easy‑to‑hatch, visually striking bird with personality and performance. These quail carry the “fee” dilution color gene, which reduces warm brown tones and results in handsome gray, black, and white feathers — a cool, silvery look that stands out in any backyard aviary. Physical Features and Traits Appearance: Adults show a unique mix of silvery gray, black, and white feathers, giving Falb‑Fee Coturnix a distinct and attractive slate‑toned look not seen in typical brown varieties. Growth & Maturity: Like all Coturnix, Falb‑Fees grow quickly and are ready to lay and produce eggs as early as 6–8 weeks of age. Egg Production: Coturnix quail are known for prolific egg laying, and this variety continues that tradition with a steady supply of small, delicious eggs. Hardiness & Care: These quail are hardy and adaptable to a wide range of backyard environments, from small cages to colony setups, making them ideal for new keepers.

Shipping charges: Current shipping rates are as follows: 12+ eggs: $19.99 Shipping information: Eggs are always shipped via USPS Priority Mail These hatching eggs are collected fresh and may be shipped Monday through Wednesday. Unfortunately, due to the importing regulations in those states, we cannot ship fertile hatching eggs to South Dakota, Hawaii, or U.S. territories. Order cancellations: You may cancel your hatching egg order at least 10 days before your listed ship date. Will my eggs arrive intact? My Pet Chicken absolutely guarantees that the fertile hatching eggs you order from us will arrive intact and ready for incubation. If any eggs for which you have paid arrive cracked or broken, we will refund or reship them in the case of 50% or more of the eggs being damaged. Please contact us within 48 hours of receiving the damaged eggs to report the issue and provide photos of the damage. Can I choose which day my eggs will arrive? When you place your order, you can choose your preferred week of shipment. Your order could ship any day of the week. Should there be an issue with your order, we will attempt to contact you. Some of our flocks are kept at different facilities, so if you order multiple breeds or assortments, your eggs may not all arrive at once. We will do our best to coordinate, but we cannot guarantee they will all arrive on the same day. If you are uncomfortable with staggered hatches, you may want to place your orders separately or contact us for further instructions. We are happy to help! Will the post office deliver the eggs to my door? Shipping labels on our hatching egg boxes indicate that the post office should "CALL ON ARRIVAL." This reduces the handling and extremes of temperature the eggs experience en route to you and can ultimately increase the viability of your eggs. However, this information is often not seen by the carrier, and eggs are delivered to the physical shipping address on the label anyway. If it is imperative to you that the eggs not be delivered directly to your shipping address, you can change the ship-to address on your order to the address of your post office of choice, attn: 'your name.' If you choose to do this, make sure to include a valid phone number so the post office can reach you when the box arrives.
