    How large do quail actually grow?

    I am looking to start with some quail as meat birds for my family. I was thinking about either Jumbo Coturnix or Texas A&M. Can anyone tell me how large their quail grow? Or maybe a trusted source of stock that yields large birds to get eggs from? Thanks for the input!
