Jumbo Browns or Texas A&M Breeders?

[mochicken]

My next goal is to get some jumbo browns or some TRUE Texas A&M large large large birds lol, I bought the Coturnix I got now and were told the whites were A&M and later found out they were not so I am looking to get some good sized eggs to hatch.

Where would you all recommend getting some eggs to start? It will be a month or two before I even have incubator space but I am definitely interested in getting some good eggs to get a group of bigger birds just for food purposes ( and of course to get eggs to continue the line on )

Also if any of you are breeders and will sell eggs can you post pics of the difference in size between a standard Coturnix and a jumbo or Texas A&M large?

Try Quaillady the true A&Ms are no more but her bird will be very close I think she has jumbo browns too

Ya know as I was looking at my birds tonight my whites are getting quite a bit bigger since I got them but I don't think they are A&M still, what is the weight of a standard English white?

My english whites are 8 oz, small birds. My old Stella is 5 oz (pharaoh) but he is unusually small for a coturnix.

I'll try to weigh mine sometime to see, it seems the longer I keep them the bigger they get but I do not have an a&m or jumbo to compare so quaillady we need to do some dealing when my incubator clears up lol

I am wondering if maybe my whites are A&M and perhaps I feed them and care for them better than the previous owner.

I have fat English whites right now. The more they are fed, the more they get big. I agree with that statement

means you are taking good care of your birds

Let me know if you want some eggs. I have to still send to some folks here before they beat me up!

Yeah I gotta stop shoving eggs in my incubator so I can actually have some space lol, I would probably only need a dozen A&M and a dozen Jumbo browns but if I get the incubator setup done I could get as many as 120 eggs in there hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I really need to stop incubating stuff lol
