🪶 About the Egyptian Gold Coturnix Variety
-
Distinctive Feathering: Egyptian Gold quail display light golden-yellow feather tones with darker bronze or brown markings, resulting in a speckled but warm-toned appearance that differentiates them from Italian or standard Pharaoh types.
-
Breed Origins: This variety stems from selective Coturnix breeding focused on feather color expression, uniformity, and reliable hatchability — ideal for small flocks or color-focused breeding projects.
-
Temperament: Calm, manageable, and low-maintenance — Egyptian Gold quail are well-suited for beginners, educators, and homesteaders alike.
-
Egg Production: Like all Coturnix, they’re fast-maturing and productive, typically laying 250+ small, cream-to-speckled eggs annually starting around 6–8 weeks of age.
-
Hardiness & Adaptability: Egyptian Gold quail do well in a variety of environments — from indoor quail cages and colony pens to outdoor setups — and handle heat and moderate cold well when properly sheltered.
💡 Why Choose Egyptian Gold Hatching Eggs?
These hatching eggs come from vibrant, well-managed breeder stock within the trusted Undique partner network. The line is selected for:
