Nice....10 oz to 13 oz larger than a bob white ????

Wonder where the start of those 16oz white birds a&m with white meat came from.

Facts about the corturnix quail is all over, So must false stuff out there.

Few true ones are they will breed as early as 6 weeks, easy to raise ,full size at about 10 weeks. Egg laying machines

One that I started YOU CAN GROW THEM AS EASY AS WEEDS.

When Cartwright began working for Extension, he further improved the quail line by crossing the meat line back to produce a white quail with most of the carcass characteristics of the larger brown bird.

Um...it says a 'white' bird?

Either way, the end result was a white bird.

"I believe the brown bird is still a superior bird," Thornberry said, "but most people prefer the white bird because they feel it has cleaner picking characteristics and an absence of dark melanin pigmentation in its feather follicles, the inner abdominal lining and its hock joints."

THE ORIGINAL STRAIN AS RELEASED FROM TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY TO COMMERCIAL BREEDERS WAS A JUMBO BROWN BIRD​

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL STATEMENT...

ANYONE THAT TELLS YOU THEY HAVE ORIGINAL TEXAS A&M QUAIL AND THEN SHOWS YOU A WHITE BIRD WITH OR WITHOUT A COLOR SPOT IS LYING! THE ORIGINAL TEXAS A&M (THE STRAIN RELEASED FROM THE UNIVERSITY BREEDING PROGRAM TO THE COMMERCIAL HATCHERIES WAS A JUMBO BROWN BIRD! NOT WHITE. THE WHITE CHANGE OCCURED SOME YEARS LATER AT THE COMMERCIAL HATCHERY LEVEL

IT STANDS CORRECT

THE POINT IS "ORIGINAL TEXAS A&M'S" WERE NEVER WHITE. IT WAS A DESIGN THAT WAS LATER IMPLEMENTED BY THE COMMERCIAL MEAT INDUSTRY AFTER THE ORIGINAL STRAIN WAS RELEASED FROM THE UNIVERSITY PROGRAM.​
