No..The Giant Browns would get bigger than the Butlers, I had all of their varieties at one time
THERE IS ONLY 1 BUTLER IT IS THE "BUTLER GIANT BOB WHITE" IT IS MUCH LARGER (OR CAN BE) THAN ANY COTURNIX STRAIN
The Giant Browns were consistantly larger than the Butlers, True there is...

If you are in the South and raise Bobwhites and keep them on the ground, after the 2nd year or so you will find it necessary to use BMD or feed a medicated feed with Bacitracin, UE in Bobwhites raised on the ground is inevitable..

They were very legit when they were in the quail business, They've been out of business about 7 years now. they even had some go up to 24 oz, Wildlife Harvest Magazine had an artical about them with pics
I take it that most of those posting on this thread has never seen the Giant Browns that Gus and Barbra Rhodes of Bear Bayou Quail Farm used to raise? By 8 weeks the females would bump 16 oz all day long, Last I heard some guy named Troy was still breeding these in Tx
DE or finely ground shivers of glass, there's not a dimes worth of difference in either..The old timers used glass, it was frowned upon by anyone outside of the circle..De is pretty much accepted..Just my observations, most all De users after about two years goes to a chemical wormer..
5 month old Barred pullet out of the old Deberry strain..The old man never was in the show circut but has bred Barreds for 50 years,These Barreds are as large as any of the Whites
