"TRUE" A&Ms due this weekend...

[SamG347]

I have I think 10 of the "TRUE" A&M eggs from BJs due this weekend. Fingers crossed all eggs look good to go. I feel like I completely didn't follow my game plan. My goal this year was to have little to no staggered hatches....well that is about all I have been having. I have eggs that come from all over the country and try to set it up so I'm ordering batches from breeders I know at the same time but someone always has some issue or something. Guess bad luck is running rampent this year! But luckily I'm still getting the chicks I need to REVAMP my breeding flocks. I have 3 grow out brooders going.....the incubator constantly going since January....and the hatcher cleaned and ready for this weekends hatch. I have Red/Red Tux eggs in from a friend in LA......Jumbo Brown and some nice BIG A&M eggs coming from my buddy Gloria aka Uglyduck....and now just got confirmation that my 24 eggs I ordered from my friend Carlos Vega are on there way as well.

Can you say....QUAIL EVERYWHERE. And btw if you are looking for some great eggs with awesome fertility don't look past Peepsandbunnies of this forum. I had 25/28 of her eggs hatch! The Jumbo browns from her are some of the BEST I've seen and I've hatched hundreds of JBs.

THERE SHE BLOWS! THE GREAT WHITE QUAIL

Seriuosly tho, Sam I hope they are the real thing. I will be interested in the final results, please keep us posted?

I will for sure keep everyone updated. Just got eggs today from Gloria that look good sized. I should be able to in 1-2 years get some BIG birds developed. Might take a little longer depending on what I'm trying for. Might have to do some crossing with Jumbo Browns. Also I want to see if the "lighter flesh" of teh A&Ms is really noticeable without butchering them. Then I can select JBs with lighter flesh.
Just never really cared to look at the flesh before.

Remember the primary definition of "flesh" is not skin, but the meat, et al. Wiktionary states:

"flesh (uncountable)
1. the soft tissue of the body, especially muscle and fat.
2. animal tissue, especially animal tissue used as food.
3. the human body as a physical entity.
4. the skin of a human or animal...."

and taking this into consideration all the reports the different colleges have writen up I have only ever seen the flesh described as light the different hatcheries are the ones who have the description white fleshed . in the reports/writeups I have read so far you don,t see light fleshed until the 1980's way back in 73 the folks at university in Ca. describe a Xtra large strain of coturnix I found that kina intresting.
