This was a good chicken who was medium friendly. She didn't like to be held but she liked to perch on my shoulder, which was funny. However, one day I came home to a distraught sister bird and...

My Orp was an ok hen before she was eaten by a raccoon. She laid well, which is really all I really cared about, but she was the least friendly of my first three chickens. Didn't like to be...
Need info on Texas A&M quail
A&M are jumbo whites, you can get jumbos in a couple different colors and patterns, buy from a reputable breeder that will provide feedback from people that actually hatched their eggs and from people that can verify the weight of their birds, if they aint 12oz or more they aint jumbos
Where did you get your hatching eggs from? So many people sell normal whites as TAM's that it gets very difficult to obtain good foundation breeding stock.
A real A&M is the "Bigfoot" of the quail world. I have yet to see anyone take a picture of a big one on a scale, or offer actual mature weights of these "alleged" birds. Anyone who is serious about breedin' consistant big meat birds, that doesn't have a scale, or isn't weighin' them at different ages to determine growth rates, is really missin' the boat.
A really decent scale that measures both grams and ounces can be obtained at any Harbor Freight store for about 15 bucks. Until I see anybody back up their claims as to these "big white birds", they're all just English Whites to me, with some just bein' slightly bigger than others.
My temporary incarceration has made me a new man.
It's all sunshine and lolipops from here on out.
