I am not saying they are not any large white coturnix.........I just think they need another name because A&M IS THAT WHITE MEAT BIRD , OR PEOPLE THINK SO. like the bobs some are name by the size of the bird. The Name A&M name is misused all the time, reason I would like to see it dropped, know that will not happen......I can dream...A&M are known as white meat birds , and we all know thats not the case.
It was a dream as you said that didn't happen........but thats what is in people mind when they hear A&M Quail......like name as jumbo, giant, at least could set a weight a bird would be to get the name.........
No big deal, I just get tired of all these A&M WHITE MEAT BIRDS BEING SOLD.
X450 Trillion.
I stopped using the misleading term Texas A&M about 2 years ago. I have jumbo whites, and regular/English whites. Many of which are not so white. None of which are white meat. A coturnix is a coturnix, is a coturnix.
On a processing note: If you process 200+ coturnix, you may find a widely different tint/color to the meat. You can take the darker carcass, along side the lighter carcass...snap a pic, and try to say that you have a light meat coturnix, but I ain't buying that.
Also: If you pluck your birds, the skin of a lighter color feathered bird will be much lighter than a darker color feathered bird. This may actually add to the confusion.
No matter how light or dark the skin or meat is on a coturnix....They taste exactly like a coturnix
