a family member of mine has svart hona they are beautifull! And 25$ an egg and 75$ for week oldsThats the difference in hatching eggs vs. eating eggs. It really takes alot more time and resources to properly raise breeders to make those hatching eggs. Its normal for chicken hatching eggs to be twice as expensive, and even then 5$ per egg isnt considered an arm and a leg by most. I have personally paid 25$ per egg for my svart hona eggs.

The closest hatchery to me sells quail eggs 24 for 32$, Then 77$ for shipping. about 4.50$ an egg
