YESSIR THE 1ST LINK I POSTED COVERS THE ORIGINAL A&M STUDY ITSELF, WHICH DOES NOT CLAIM WHITE MEAT

THE 2ND LINK I POSTED COVERS THE ORIGINAL BROWN STRAIN RELEASED FROM T A&M AND HOW THE BIRDS GOT CONVERTED TO WHITE AFTER ITS RELEASE, AND WHY

They started out as Browns and bred back to English whites to get white and big...didn't work out as well as they hoped for. It was hoped for that the Quail would be the new chicken.

Funny thing Aprophet, I have that UC Davis pamphlet in it's original form

Great info there.

I think they were working with 5-7 ounce birds to start with some of the cage sizes they give are too small there is a lot of GOOD info though

Do you think they get the white meat "myth" from the second paragraph?
"Texas A&M University researchers have developed a heavily muscled, light-fleshed coturnix strainthat attains a live weight of 10 to 13 ounces at slaughter age of 7 weeks"

THAT OR A LESS THAN SCRUPULOUS MARKETING TEAM WAY BACK WHEN.... THEY WERE TRYING TO COMPETE WITH THE BOB WHITE NICHE AND TAKE OVER THE CHICKEN FOR FOOD WORLD ALL AT THE SAME TIME... COULD ALSO SIMPLY BE AN OLD WIVE'S TALE??? WHO KNOWS FOR SURE, BUT 1 THING FOR CERTAIN EVEN THO INCORRECT IT CERTAINLY STUCK AS IT ABOUNDS AROUND THE STRAIN EVEN TODAY

I BELIEVE THERE ARE MORE MYTHS ASSOCIATED WITH A&M'S THAN THE MOTHMAN, BIG FOOT AND THE LOCH NESS MONSTER COMBINED... SAD PART IS WE HAVE PROOF OF A FEW OF THEM

I'm going to X10 this! Not because 10 people agree, but just because there is a 99% probability that it's true. It's a bit like Carter's Liver pills. 40+ years ago, that would fly, but after scientific proof, that they did nothing for the liver, they were renamed to Carter's Little pills.

Coturnix are amazing creatures! There is a great deal of potential in the species...color and size are 2 things to work on, egg production, they have down pat. Meat production...They have that down too...Unless you are expecting a 16 oz. all white meat bird (AT 8WEEKS) that tastes like Bobwhites/chicken/Gutter snipes/etc....because you will be sadly disappointed! A coturnix quail tastes just like a coturnix quail.

A coturnix is a coturnix is a coturnix is a coturnix....Nothing more!
