Coturnix are a great variety similar in personality and living requirements to button quails. Non-jumbos are pretty small and their eggs are super mild and taste no different than chicken eggs. I've only had coturnix but have heard that they're mellower than buttons. Plus they come in a bunch of different colors!

Coturnix all the way. Excellent egg producers. Excellent meat producers. Lovely personality as well.

The Texas A&M is just a white Coturnix. What most people call Texas A&M is just a English white. A true Texas A&M was bred at Texas A&M to be the size of a jumbo pharoah and be a white meat. If someone has a true Texas A&M they can prove the linage of the birds. If they cant prove it then its just a English White (it has become normal for everyone to call a white Coturnix a Texas A&M).
And to answer your Question yes they lay lots of eggs.
