The Japanese call the birds uzura, and have raised them for centuries. Early American colonists called them "Bible quail" and found them to be economical providers of protein. Modern homesteaders, however, refer to them as Coturnix (from their generic name) and delight in the virtues of these astounding little fowl. Coturnix quail, you see, require no more care than do chickens, but they mature faster, produce more eggs, need less food and space, and have more uses than virtually any other kind of domestic poultry!
Celedon Coturnix Hatching Eggs
We have been selectively breeding for blue eggs and it's turned out to be a long-time project we've had. I am happy to say that we have finally gotten to the point where our Celedon's breed completely "True". This means that 100% of these quail will lay blue eggs. This is quite a big deal in the Celedon world (and our little "world" at Spring Hollow Acres!) Currently, we are one of only a couple breeders in the country breeding this variety of quail who have achieved "True Blue" laying Celedons.
