Quail

CELADON QUAIL

Celadon may not be the largest of to Coturnix quail but they make up for it by producing lovely shades of solid or spotted blue eggs. The egg shells  are valued by crafters, the meat and eggs, well, you have to try roasted quail!  We offer chicks, eggs, boiled peeled eggs for pickling or snacking, salads and any recipe that calls for eggs. It takes approx 5 of the smaller eggs per regular chicken egg. The eggs are usually opened using a pair of quail scissors vs rapping on the side of the bowl. The shells are somewhat fragile but the membrane is touger and if not using scissors you could find yourself squishing the egg! The little scissors are very inexpensive. 

 

Quail is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, iron and macronutrients such as calcium, phosphor, zinc and more.  Quail meat  contain a host of vitamins, including Vitamin A, D, K and B. Quail eggs and meat are rich in selenium, essential fatty acids and antioxidants.

GERMAN SPARKLY QUAIL

The Sparkly gene amplifies  almost any color or plumage pattern without decreasing bird size. This is a unique color  for its beauty and rarity.  The gene has a striking effect on varieties like Italian, Pearl Fee, Falb Fee, and even wild type. Considered a Jumbo they are, like any quail, prized for their taste as well as egg production.  We'll be adding a  German Sparkly male into our Jumbo population this year.  Like regular Jumbo it takes about 4 quail eggs to equal a regular chicken egg. 

 

We offer boiled eggs only, can be shelled ready for your own pickling recipe or we can make that for you! We offer a variety of flavors from savory, sweet to hot and spicey!  At this time we are not offering any live chicks or adults from our German Sparkly aviary.
