QUAIL EGG WASH & SANITIZE - Proper methods to clean and sanitize your quail eggs for retail sales

Properly washing and sanitizing your coturnix quail eggs will ensure that your customers are getting the freshest and cleanest eggs for consumption. In this video I show my routine for collecting, washing, sanitizing and packaging of quail eggs for sale to the public.

I've only had white Coturnix quail for about ten days and my chicken egg-buying contacts are asking if they can buy quail eggs! I have no idea what they are worth. The contact people are mentioning the prices at local Asian markets. Guess I need to go in and explore!

[@MrKjet256]

Thanks for the good sharing. Hope you can make one sharing from 1 day old until laying egg age for one group of your quail.

Have you made a video about how or who you sell your eggs to? Do you just hand deliver? Do you sell to restaurants?

Thanks. I'm going to get my egg handlers permit now.

[@cassiewatson3213]

Hi, thanks for all the info in your videos! So quail eggs keep differently than chicken eggs? Chicken eggs have the bloom, so we don't wash it off. We don't typically leave them out long, but haven't had any problems.

[@thehazelnutspread]

Suggestion: instead of the brush, how about rubbing the eggs between 2 plastic scrub pads

[@makola1970]

Thank you this is very helpful

hello, how long will the quail eggs keep if they are unrefrigerated vs. refrigerated. thanks so much for the videos!

[@lnz971]

2 days

[@paulbarlow9907]

@@lnz971rubbish eggs are fine out of the fridge as long as they have not been washed. did a test 12 in the fridge 12 on the kitchen counter and 12 in a cool environment. all produced a 70% hatch after a 2 week wait. washed eggs are vulnerable to bacteria

[@lucasmattia2887]

How much detergent do you put for the first container with the water?

[@paulbarlow9907]

clean eggs do not need washing or cleaning. if you do in the uk they are not sellable. our eggs chickens have a use by date 28 days after laying. a bit of poo on an egg just needs wiping off. they can be eaten but not for sale

[@Split0069]

What temp should ur sanitize water be?

[@woodsman2433]

Hi Terry do you wash your fertile eggs prior to incubation, and if so what do you use. Many thanks in advance.

[@CoturnixCorner]

I do not wash eggs or use anything like Listerine or Hydrogen peroxide prior to incubating. I do try to select the cleanest eggs I have, or if they are shipped eggs I will wipe them down prior to setting them. Thanks for the question!

[@woodsman2433]

@@CoturnixCorner Thanks alot Terry, I to have never washed either my Quail or Partridge eggs before incubating, just pick the clean ones and relay on the natural bloom many thanks, love your channel

[@RobWright-1969]

I'm getting paper eggs a couple times a week... My babies are on 28% protein feed and I give them the shells back " about " every 2 weeks.. Plus cantalope rinds every other day. What can I do to stop paper eggs??

[@elenakurus2010]

Amazing

[@thatbubbleguy]

Terry, do you still float test your eggs when dry cleaning?

[@CoturnixCorner]

Usually no, I collect fresh everyday and can pretty much tell by the weight if the egg is good.

[@rbigcountry7856]

Where’s the best place to buy cartons for jumbo eggs?

[@mikew154]

What is the bloom on the egg that you mentioned in the video?

[@danielsmith336]

It is a thin membrane coating the outside of eggs when they are laid that blocks bacteria from entering the egg and reduces the rate of evaporation through the pores in the shell so that they don't dry out too fast while the embryo is growing.

[@cockeyedhomestead]

Good info

[@kimmieharris5467]

What if I don’t want to hatch any? Can I just collect the eggs, clean then cook?

[@susanwise1287]

So if you clean your eggs the dry method you don't put in fridge but if you do it in the wet method you refrigerate? This is my 1st quail so they are only 4 weeks but thinking at some point I would like to sell them Thank you

[@CoturnixCorner]

I put all my eggs in the refrigerator regardless of the cleaning method. I'm in S. Florida and the temps are usually in the mid 90's so I don't like to leave eggs out on the counter.

Hi terry. Please how do identify eggs that are good for incubating and for food consumption?

I just choose the cleanest eggs for both, if you are concerned you can float test them. Thanks for the question.

I want to sell infertile eggs, I want to refrigerate them when collected till I have enough for sale (usually 5 days for 10 dozen for a restaurant) I brush them clean. Can I sell them that way or do I have to wash them. The restaurant will be hard boiling them and pickling them as hot poppers they call them. Can I let them wash them before boiling??
