Jumbo Egyptian Coturnix Quail Hatching Eggs The Jumbo Egyptian Coturnix is here! After months of selective breeding, this line is finally ready for your incubator. These quail combine all the desirable traits of the Jumbo Pharaoh—calm temperament, rapid growth, feather sexability, and high productivity—but with a lighter, strawberry-blond twist thanks to the Egyptian “diluter” gene. Perfect for backyard breeders, hobbyists, or meat and egg producers looking to add both function and visual variety to their flock.
