I am considering getting Jumbo Coturnix. Are their eggs larger than those of the regular (I guess it's called brown) Coturnix japonica? Do they eat more? What are the advantages of the Jumbo Coturnix, other than a larger carcass for meat production?

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock. -
First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent. -
Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that. -
They are my calmest birds and are easiest to catch. They eat less than Pekins. I heard they also lay well, but mine are younger.
