[MontiSage]

What's your best average high weight for jumbo coturnix roosters? And hens?

I started last year with chicks and eggs from 3 big farms, got nothing much over 12oz t pick breeders from. starting with those I kept the biggest offspring and between first and second generation, I have a bunch of hens running between 14 and 15oz. While males are generally smaller, I have one I haven’t weighed (probably should) that feels every bit as plump and heavy as the gals. Over 3oz on a deboned breast is a good snack, but I have my fingers crossed to eventually start getting quarter pound filets .
