About Us

Located right here in San Antonio, at Two Hearts Quail Farm, we specialize only in Quail eggs. Back in 2021 we began raising Quails after learning of all the health benefits their eggs provide. Since then, we currently supply Quail eggs to restaurants, meat markets, grocery stores, and pet shops.

We raise our Quails in a completely natural way. No GMO’s or antibiotics of any kind. They have a high protein, Soy-Free diet. Other Quail farms keep their quails in wire cages that causes cuts and hurt their feet. This is why chicken egg farms are not allowed to use cages anymore. All chicken egg farms must have cage free systems. Why not do the same for Quails? Our Quails live in enclosures set up similar to their natural habitat, on the ground with natural plants and hiding places. This keeps our quails healthy and happy!

Quail eggs, long cherished for their culinary versatility and delicate flavor, are also a superior health choice. Packed with protein, these tiny treasures contain a significant amount of vitamin B12, selenium, iron, and choline, which are essential for a healthy nervous system and optimal brain function. Not only are quail eggs a nutrient-dense food, but they also offer more iron and potassium compared to chicken eggs. Their unique size makes them perfect for gourmet dishes, quick snacks, or a nutritious meal for the family.

Our eggs are packaged in compliance to Texas Egg Law and USDA/FDA requirements. Being no more than 5 days old and having an average shelf-life of 6 weeks*, Two Hearts Quail Farm is the best place to buy fresh, Non-GMO, Soy-Free quail eggs.

( * Shelf-life determined by USDA / FDA based on eggs being stored at or below 45° F.)

What to look for when buying Quail Eggs & Federal Regulation

Can quail eggs have an expiration time of three months in the USA?

The short answer is no, at least not for commercially sold eggs in the USA.

In the United States, regulations regarding egg labeling and expiration dates generally prohibit a "Sell-By" or "EXP" date from being set that far out. Here is the breakdown of why you won't see a 90-day (three-month) expiration date on a carton of quail eggs:

1. The Legal Limits

Commercial egg dating is governed by a mix of federal (USDA/FDA) and state laws.

USDA Graded Eggs: For eggs bearing the USDA grade shield, the expiration date cannot exceed 30 days from the pack date.
Sell-By Dates: Even on non-USDA graded eggs, many states (like Georgia) set a maximum expiration date of 45 days (5 to 6 weeks) from the date they were packed.
90 Days: A three-month expiration date would triple the legal limit allowed for most commercial retail.

2. Quail Egg Shelf Life

While quail eggs are hardy because of their thick membranes, their quality degrades over time:

Refrigerated: Fresh quail eggs typically maintain peak quality for about 5 to 6 weeks (roughly 1 to 1.5 months).
Safety vs. Quality: After 45 days, the egg isn't necessarily "rotten" or dangerous if it’s been kept at a constant 45°F (or below), but the air cell inside grows, the whites become watery, and the yolk is more likely to break.

3. How to Check for Freshness

If you find yourself with eggs that have been in the fridge for a while, don't rely solely on the date. Use the Float Test:

Fresh: Sinks to the bottom and lays flat on its side.
Slightly Older: Sinks but stands up on one end (still safe to eat).
Expired/Bad: Floats to the top. This happens because the air cell has become so large that the egg is likely dried out or spoiled. Toss these.

Note: If you are buying "pickled" quail eggs in a jar, those can absolutely have an expiration or "best by" date of several months (or even years) because the vinegar and brine act as preservatives. But for fresh shell eggs, three months is far beyond standard safety and quality windows.
