In this episode of the Poultry Nerds Podcast, we break down the celadon gene, explain how true blue eggs are formed, and clear up common myths surrounding celadon quail breeding. From genetics and egg shell pigmentation to breeding mistakes and record-keeping challenges, this episode delivers real education without the fluff.
We discuss:
- What the celadon gene actually does
- Why blue eggs are blue all the way through
- The difference between true blue lines and random blue eggs
- Why celadons are NOT harder to hatch
- The importance of proper egg selection
- How recessive genetics impact celadon breeding
- Why plumage color does NOT indicate celadon genetics
- Why older hens lay lighter blue eggs
- Common social media myths about blue eggs and celadons
We also explain why many people unknowingly sell celadon carriers instead of true celadons, and how improper breeding can ruin a celadon program.
This episode is part of our Quail Mania countdown, leading up to one of the biggest quail education events of the year.
