ok I processed yesterday but there was no one with me to take pics. Not wanting to ruin my camera I got only a few shots, the difference is slight when raw but here they are...

A&M on the left in both pics and pharaoh on the right

as you can see in my holding cage (used this because with the storm I did not want to have to make a million trips back and forth outside to get birds) That I only had one as I am keeping most all I have for breeding stock at the moment. he was about 10+ ounces at live weight.

I am sure there will be many not satisfied with these pics but its the best I can do for now.

ets the pharaoh are a bit wrinkly cause they were in the brine water while I was doing the A&M and I had to take a short break inbetween to tend to my ds.

Thanks Susan,

It looks like you may have more of a true A & M than I do. I processed some so called A & M's that came from Lake Cumberland Hatchery along with some brown and could tell any difference in meat color. The A & M's were a lot meatier than the browns though. It would be interesting if you can post more pictures of them cooked to see if it brings out more color differences.

My A&Ms are light of the flesh like that, and when cooked because some were really brown others were a lighter brown.

well the cooked piucs are at the begining of the thread but some people thought we were eating the quail raw so I took these pics to try to show that there is a difference all be it very slight.

For those that have pm me I have a bunch of young ones I am growing out now. i lost 2 of my A&M hens this winter so my numbers are very very low, but I hope to be able to offer eggs from them by this summer maybe sooner.
