I could come close to 120 eggs in 3-4 days my coturnix are still getting it

I got them from a guy I know. I am sure he has more. The day he sent me my eggs he called me and asked how many eggs I could put in my incubator. I only bought 80 eggs but that day alone he gathered 250 eggs. He sent me 120 total. Can't say he would do the same thing again but maybe he will. The eggs I ordered were Texas A&M and he sent me 40 Jumbo Browns too. I could not believe the size of some of these eggs. He has to have some big really health birds to put eggs out this size.

In my experience, the biggest egg-layers are my whites, and they are not jumbo birds. I did have a few goldens that laid whopper eggs, easily almost twice as big as any other of my quails' eggs, though I've apparently sold those few girls in my thin-out or they were some that the rats got to.

But the jumbo browns do lay a decent sized egg.
