Quail weight?

[Birds1243]

How much should my corturnix quails weigh? Two females are around 7 months and male is about the same. How much should they all way? One girl has just started laying as of winter I provided her light. She is slightly larger in weight. The other female is smaller and her weight is a lot less than the other Female

There is a lot of variation in weight, especially if you're talking the difference between standard and jumbos. How much do your weigh?

Girls are 275g and 350g(this one is laying) and boy is 300g. This is their average but the laying girl has went up in the last week because of the eggs I think

Those sound within normal ranges to me. The 275g girl is a bit small, so I wouldn't breed her, but the 300 & 350g ones sound pretty normal for standards. Jumbos will be more in the 500g+ range.

mine are both in the 260 ish g range, one used to be upwards of 300 but randomly lost weight over the fall months.
