PLEASE NOTE - You can find better pricing for shipped eggs on our website, search "Lore Farms Reno Nevada".
Additionally, while choosing an egg provider on eBay, please be cognizant of not only the sellers ratings but also the quantity of eggs sold in the past year. A lot of quail egg sellers switch to a different account (burn and switch) once they have bad reviews and are notorious for not caring about their customers. Selecting an eBay seller with good reviews and lots of eggs sold in the past year is the best way to evaluate a seller.
Button Quail Eggs
Our button eggs are of a mixed color and variety.
Eggs and Fertility
Our eggs are gathered as soon as they are laid, in the evening, and stored properly (skinny end down, rotated, unwashed, 50 degree temperature).
Hatchability
We have had customers with hatch rates as high as 98% and as low as 13%. Hatching is difficult, especially for shipped eggs from any seller. Most shipped eggs have a 50% hatchability rate due to the shipping process so expect that rate, it's very hard on the eggs. Please do not leave feedback based on your hatch rates as we have no control over the shipping and incubation process.
Shipping
We ship USPS Priority Mail 1-3 Business Days. We ship in the order received. The date provided by ebay is the “ship by date” and it is 10 business days from your purchase. You will be notified when your eggs have shipped, and a tracking number will be provided through ebay. We do not monitor weather in destination citifies, please be advised that if it is too cold/hot where you live, we suggest you wait to order until the weather in your area is more reasonable. By buying our eggs, you are saying that you're okay with that risk. We ship our eggs the same day or next day they have been laid. Eggs do not lose fertility until after the 10th day. Please allow time for USPS to make their deliver. No international sales.
Returns/Refunds
I'm sorry but there are absolutely no returns or refunds. Buyer assumes the risk of purchasing shipped hatching eggs.
Extra Eggs
Please note that extra eggs given are complimentary, they're free from us to compensate you for the rough way USPS handles them. Free, complimentary eggs are not counted towards hatch rate.
Birds
Please allow your chicks 8 - 12 weeks to mature and develop their feather colors. Hens are not pretty, roosters are. Please do not leave feedback based upon newly hatched chick color without allowing your chicks to mature and grow their adult colored feathers.
Proceeds
We are a small hobby farm. As you can imagine after ebay takes their cut, USPS theirs, coupled with the costs of shipping materials, and feeding & caring for the birds, and federal taxes; there isn't much profit to be had in this hobby. However, if we do manage to turn a profit all proceeds go 100% to the college funds of our two sons and we sincerely thank you for that!!!
