Pharaoh Coturnix Quail Hatching Eggs are wonderful alternative production birds for small farms and even urban farmsteads. Coturnix Quail are one of the smallest of all quail breeds, but they are super fast growing, and mature by 6 weeks of age. They can start laying eggs at 7 weeks of age and can lay over 300 eggs per year. They are also good choices for meat production, and their meat is particularly sought after by chefs. Pharaoh Coturnix Quail are a truly great choice for urban settings and can successfully contribute to the profitability of a small scale quail business.

Jumbo Pharaoh Coturnix will grow to 8-14 ounces.

Despite their small size, Pharaoh Coturnix Quail are hardy and easy to care for. Their feed demands are relatively low, and they are quiet and calm. Pharaoh Coturnix Quail are originally from Japan and were first brought into the U.S. in the mid 1800's.
