they are a variation of the english white coturnix that have been genetically made to be "jumbo" they weigh in at 16-20oz i do believe, usually on the smaller end of that, but each various

We know what Texas A&M's are and they are NOT over 16 ounces. I don't know anyone who can honestly say they have any that are even AT 16 ounces, the biggest ones I know of are 14.

ETA: A&M's are a strain of coturnix, nothing special, just 'supposed to be' bigger than most. But most people say they have A&M when they only have english whites.

In addition to this, I once had 12 jumbo brown coturnix (same size as the A&M's, just a different color) that were very big. The 12 birds were in a 2' x 4' cage and they did just fine.

Pen size is sufficient for 6 birds at 10.5 sf. (5 hens to a roo). You will still get good fertility rates at 5 to 1. Your set up is ok. You may want to make a dinner out of the extras if your are interested.
