Product Description
If your goal is producing large Coturnix quail, our Jumbo White line was developed with size as the priority. These birds have been selectively bred for heavy body weights, calm temperaments, fertility, and large eggs while maintaining excellent hatchability.
Unlike color-focused breeding programs, our emphasis is performance. Depending on the genetics inherited, chicks may hatch as English White, heterozygous Pearl, or homozygous Pearl, giving each hatch a little variety while maintaining the jumbo traits our breeding program is known for.
Because of their impressive size, these birds are best suited for meat production, dual-purpose flocks, or breeders looking to improve body size in their own lines.
Around the farm, we call these our Quailzillas for one simple reason—they're big. Selected for exceptional body size, these jumbo white Coturnix commonly reach 15–20 ounces for hens and 14–18 ounces for males under proper management. While they lay large eggs, this line was developed primarily for those wanting an impressive meat bird.
What to Expect
Jumbo Whites are the largest Coturnix we raise.
Under proper management:
Hens commonly mature between 15 and 20 ounces
Males commonly mature between 14 and 18 ounces
Hens produce large hatching eggs
Birds mature quickly and typically begin laying around 7 weeks
Because these birds are substantially larger than standard Coturnix, they also consume more feed. If your primary goal is maximum egg production with minimal feed costs or simply keeping a few backyard pets, another variety may be a better fit. For breeders and homesteaders focused on producing large birds for the table, the additional feed consumption is generally offset by their increased body size.
Shipping
Every order is collected fresh and professionally packaged using EggFoam™ shipping materials to help protect your hatching eggs during transit.
Although no breeder can guarantee hatch rates after shipping, proper packaging, careful handling, and correct incubation practices greatly improve your chances of success.

The Classic Coturnix Every Quail Keeper Should Own
If you're looking for a productive, dependable Coturnix quail, the Jumbo Pharaoh is where most experienced breeders begin.
Often called Jumbo Brown, Wild Type, or Sex-Linked Brown (SLB), these birds represent the traditional Coturnix color pattern while offering the larger body size and productivity developed through years of selective breeding. Whether your goal is fresh eggs, meat production, or building your own breeding program, Jumbo Pharaoh quail remain one of the most versatile varieties available.
Why Bryant's Roost Pharaoh Quail?
Our breeding program focuses on much more than color.
Each generation is selected for:
Large adult body size
Excellent fertility
Strong hatchability
Calm temperament
Easy feather sexing
Large egg production
Correct feather markings
Rather than collecting from a single breeding cage, your order is gathered from multiple breeder groups whenever possible. This helps maintain greater genetic diversity while preserving the traits our flock has been selected for over many years.
Easy Feather Sexing
One of the biggest advantages of Pharaoh Coturnix is that males and females can usually be identified by feather color beginning around 17–18 days of age.
Females develop a speckled breast.
Males develop a rust-colored breast with a white chin strap.
No vent sexing required.
Fast Growing and Productive
Under proper nutrition and management, Jumbo Pharaoh Coturnix typically:
Mature quickly
Begin laying around 6–8 weeks of age
Produce large, speckled eggs
Reach full body condition by approximately 8–10 weeks
Although hens often begin laying around 7 weeks, we recommend keeping young birds on a quality starter or grower feed until approximately 10 weeks of age before transitioning to a layer ration. Supporting skeletal growth before heavy egg production helps maximize long-term health and productivity.
Professionally Packed for Shipping
Every order is packed using professional EggFoam™ shipping materials designed specifically for hatching eggs.
While no breeder can guarantee hatch rates after eggs leave the farm, careful packing greatly reduces shipping damage compared to traditional packaging methods.
Freshness, packaging, incubation practices, shipping conditions, and incubator accuracy all influence hatch success.

Egyptian Coturnix Hatching Eggs
Our Egyptian Coturnix line didn't begin with birds purchased from multiple breeders. It began with a recessive gene discovered within our original Pharaoh breeding program.
Rather than allowing the mutation to appear randomly, we made the decision to establish a dedicated Egyptian breeding line while simultaneously breeding the Egyptian gene out of our Pharaoh line. More than six years later, those two lines continue to be maintained separately through careful record keeping and selective breeding.
That history matters.
When you purchase hatching eggs from Bryant's Roost, you're receiving eggs from a breeding program that has been intentionally developed over multiple generations. Our goal has never been to simply produce Egyptian-colored birds. Every generation is selected for the traits that make a reliable breeding line, including fertility, hatchability, vigor, temperament, and consistent production.
Because every bird carries hidden genetics, developing a predictable breeding line requires years of selection. We believe consistency is one of the most valuable qualities a breeder can offer, and it is something that cannot be created overnight.
Every order is collected fresh, carefully inspected, and packaged in EggFoam shipping inserts to provide the best possible protection during transit. While shipping hatching eggs always involves variables beyond our control, proper packaging gives your eggs the best opportunity to arrive safely.
Whether you're starting your first Egyptian breeding project or adding quality genetics to an existing program, we appreciate the opportunity to be part of your journey.

Before You Order
Hatching eggs are a perishable product. Hatch rates are influenced by many factors, including shipping conditions, incubation practices, equipment, and breeder experience. Because these variables are outside our control once eggs leave the farm, hatchability cannot be guaranteed.
We strongly recommend allowing shipped eggs to rest in cold weather and to set immediately in hot weather before incubation and following proper incubation procedures to maximize hatch success.

Build Your Own Sex-Linked Coturnix Breeding Project
If you've ever wanted to develop your own sex-linked Coturnix breeding program, this assortment gives you the foundation to get started.
You'll receive 36 Egyptian Coturnix hatching eggs and 36 Pharaoh Coturnix hatching eggs, both from breed-true breeding pens. Once hatched, the two varieties are easy to distinguish. Egyptian chicks hatch with a lighter, blond appearance, while Pharaoh chicks are darker with the familiar striped pattern.
As your birds mature, establish three breeding groups:
Egyptian × Egyptian
Pharaoh × Pharaoh
Egyptian male × Pharaoh females
This cross produces Egyptian hens and split Pharaoh males, allowing you to build a predictable breeding program. Keep the split males separate from your pure Pharaoh breeders to maintain the integrity of your original line.
This assortment is an excellent choice for breeders who want to produce guaranteed Egyptian females for their own breeding program or for local chick sales while maintaining pure breeding stock.
At Bryant's Roost, our breeding birds are fed a custom-formulated layer ration designed to support excellent fertility, strong embryo development, and vigorous chicks. Every order is carefully packed in our custom EggFoam shipping system, double boxed, and shipped with the same methods we trust for our own breeding program.

Sexable at Hatch Coturnix Quail Hatching Eggs
Want to know which chicks are male and female as soon as they hatch? This special breeding cross makes that possible.
These hatching eggs come from carefully designed breeding pens using Egyptian males bred to Pharaoh females. The resulting chicks can be identified by down color immediately after hatch. Lighter-colored chicks are Egyptian females, while darker striped chicks are split Pharaoh males.
This is an excellent option for breeders who have limited brooder space, want to raise primarily hens, or simply enjoy the convenience of identifying chicks on hatch day instead of waiting for feather development.
Keep in mind that this is a first-generation (F1) cross. The offspring will not continue producing sexable chicks if bred together. To continue producing hatch-sexable birds, you'll need to establish the proper breeding groups yourself or purchase additional eggs from this breeding pen.
At Bryant's Roost, our breeder flocks are fed a custom-formulated layer ration designed to maximize fertility, embryo vigor, and hatchability. Every order is carefully packed in our custom EggFoam shipping system, double-boxed, and shipped using the same methods we trust for our own breeding program.
What's Included
Sexable-at-hatch Coturnix quail hatching eggs
Produced from Egyptian male × Pharaoh female breeding pens
Secure EggFoam packaging
Double-boxed for shipping
Who It's For
This assortment is ideal for breeders who want to identify males and females immediately after hatch, reduce brooder space, or establish their own sex-linked breeding project.
Why Bryant's Roost?
Our breeding program is built around carefully selected genetics, breeder nutrition, and protective packaging so your eggs have the best opportunity to hatch into healthy, vigorous chicks.
A Striking Blend of Black, White, and Gray
Falb Fee Coturnix quail are one of the more eye-catching color varieties, displaying a beautiful mix of black, white, and gray feathers that give each bird a unique appearance. No two birds are exactly alike, making every hatch exciting.
Whether you're looking to add diversity to your covey, expand a color breeding project, or simply enjoy hatching unusual Coturnix quail, Falb Fee are an excellent choice.
Why Choose Falb Fee?
Distinctive black, white, and gray feather pattern
Excellent addition to color-focused breeding programs
Fast-growing Coturnix that typically begin laying around 6–8 weeks of age
Great for both new and experienced quail keepers
Feather Sexable
Very Jumbo sized
At Bryant's Roost, we select our breeding stock for health, vigor, fertility, and overall quality. Our goal is to produce birds that are not only beautiful but also productive and dependable breeders.
Each order includes fresh Falb Fee Coturnix hatching eggs collected from our breeding pens. Eggs are collected frequently, stored under proper conditions, and packaged using professional EggFoam™ shipping materials to help protect them during transit.
As with all shipped hatching eggs, hatchability depends on many factors outside our control, including shipping conditions, incubator accuracy, and incubation practices. While we cannot guarantee hatch rates, we take every step possible to ensure your eggs leave our farm fresh, carefully selected, and professionally packed.

COTURNIX SIZE EXPLAINED
What Makes a Coturnix “Jumbo”?
“Jumbo” describes a Coturnix breeding line selected over multiple generations for larger size, growth, and body structure. It is not a color variety—and one unusually heavy bird does not make an entire line Jumbo.
Ask More Than “How Much Do They Weigh?”
Age, sex, nutrition, and individual variation all affect a bird’s weight. The better question is whether the breeder consistently selects and records birds for size across generations.
Jumbo refers to the breeding behind the bird—not simply the number on the scale today.

Mason Jar Feeder & Waterer Set
After years of raising poultry, I couldn't find a feeder and waterer that worked exactly the way I wanted, so I designed my own.
The Bryant's Roost Mason Jar Feeder & Waterer Set was created with the bird's safety, comfort, and natural feeding behavior in mind. The waterer features an angled drinking area designed around the shape of a bird's beak, making it easy for chicks and adult birds to drink comfortably. The feeder includes a center cone that encourages feed to flow smoothly toward the feeding ports, helping reduce bridging and wasted feed.
Both bases fit standard pint and quart regular-mouth mason jars (jars not included), making them inexpensive and easy to refill.
This set is ideal for Coturnix quail, button quail, chickens, Kikiriki, Seramas, Silkies, poults, and other small poultry. Whether you're raising baby chicks or maintaining a breeding flock, these feeders are designed to make daily care easier while helping keep feed and water cleaner.
Proudly Made in the USA.

Retractable Bird Catching Net
If you've ever raised quail, you already know—they're experts at finding the one place you can't reach.
Whether it's a button quail perched on the curtains, an escapee hiding under a brooder, or a Coturnix that made a break for freedom, this little net makes catching birds quick and much less stressful for both you and the bird.
I keep one in every corner of the farm because I use them constantly. The lightweight aluminum handle extends to nearly 34 inches, giving you extra reach without chasing birds around the room. When you're finished, the handle retracts for easy storage in the barn, brooder room, or vehicle.
The soft net is sized perfectly for quail and other small poultry, allowing you to gently scoop birds instead of grabbing or cornering them.
Colors vary and are selected at random.

Who It's For
Perfect for button quail, Coturnix quail, small ornamental chickens, pet birds, and anyone who occasionally has a feathered escape artist.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Every order is packed in EggFoam®, which I designed specifically to protect hatching eggs in transit. It cannot prevent every instance of carrier damage, but it gives your eggs the strongest possible protection during shipping.
-
Because shipping, incubator calibration, handling, and incubation conditions are outside my control, I cannot guarantee a specific hatch rate. I carefully collect and pack fertile eggs and provide practical incubation resources to help you give them the best possible start.
-
Shipping time varies by variety, season, and weather. I may delay shipment during unsafe heat or cold because temperature extremes can damage fertile eggs. Check the Policies & Shipping page for current estimated wait times, and use your order number to check your order status.
-
Feather-sexable varieties develop visible color differences as they mature—usually around three weeks. Males generally develop a more solid-colored chest, while females retain speckling.
-
No. A hatching egg’s sex cannot be identified by its shape, size, color, or markings. Any method claiming to sex an unhatched Coturnix egg is a myth.
-
You may leave a requested timeframe in the order notes at checkout. I cannot guarantee an exact ship date, but advance notice helps. For example: “Please ship after April 1” or “I will be away April 1–5.”
-
The Quail Starter Box includes supplies selected from products I personally use or trust. You can also shop individual brooder and chick-care supplies in the store.
-
Use a fresh, non-medicated game-bird or turkey starter formulated for young quail. Coturnix chicks need a finely ground, high-protein starter. Follow the feed manufacturer’s directions and provide clean water at all times. Show Pro Farm Supply can also help with specialty feed.
-
Choose according to your goals. Jumbo Pharaohs are dependable, productive all-purpose birds; Jumbo Whites offer light plumage; Egyptian, Falb Fee, Sparkly Fee, and Jenn’s Choice provide distinctive colors and genetics; and auto-sexing varieties make early identification easier. Review the individual product descriptions or ask Clara if you would like help narrowing the choices.
