If we assumed a dove breast was the darkest meat and a store bought chicken breast was the lightest. A wild or flight conditioned Bob White is somewhere in between.

How does the meat color of Coturnix compare to a standard Bob White that was pen raised and released for hunting?

Coturnix Will Be Closer To Dove

What an awesome thread. Thanks for the education.

How tall do they grow?

OK, I'll bite.

How big and at what weight. At 6 weeks, they should be 10-14 Oz. Live Weight, 7.5-10.5 Dressed. Will have to be dressed to see the white meat.
These weights are for the Jumbo Browns that the Texas A&M was further developed from - what I've read anyway.

If its 4-6 even 8 oz you have English Whites. I had 2 of them from my Jumbo Brown's, they had delicious brown meat.

Picture on a digital scale would do wonders.

My jumbo browns put out a white now and then too. Darn recessive gene. The white birds are usually the ones that get picked on. They do taste the same though.

I have a question. How old are "flight conditioned birds"?
