Understood. Large meat birds do exist. A group of us are workin' to develop a uniform line of big, fast growin', productive meat birds. We are currently culling any young bird that doesn't make a weight of 10 oz by the age of 42 days. We have also found that there is a connection to the size of the finished birds that can be pre-determined by egg size. Here is a picture on a scale of a dozen randomly chosen eggs from these birds. Take note of the weight of the dozen.

We are not sellin' eggs, and are not salesman. We are workin', like others before us to provide a consistantly bigger bird to the quail hobbyist that wants a primarily meat bird. We do, however, give away eggs to many "new breeders" to get them started. If I were to sell these to the public, I could guarantee that a good percentage of the birds that they hatch would make these weights, although there would be a few that would not. I think the key to findin' such foundation stock would be to have the seller of eggs bein' purchased, provide a similar guarantee in writing.
