Jumbo Coturnix Quail weight

[E-quail-izer]

Hi everybody. What are the body weights of your larger adult Jumbo Coturnix Quail? I have read some interesting stuff of people claiming birds weighing around 500g(17/17 ounces). Sorry, South African metric system. Would be interesting to see what sizes people are breeding in the real world.

I use metric too

I had a jumbo who was around 400g I think.

That's a pretty good size. I always have to go and Google the calculator when people quote Imperial measurements!

I have a group of brown of 20 birds. About 5 of them weight over 400 Gram at 10 week age, the biggest one weights 470 Gram at 10 weeks age.
