What breed?

That's not completely accurate! I may not be reading this right, but a coturnix that attains a body weight of 7 oz. in 12 weeks eats the same amount of feed "BASED ON BODY WEIGHT" that a jumbo 11oz.+/- bird does. "Jumbos just get bigger" They do not eat less or attain a larger weight any faster than their smaller cousins.

Jumbos get bigger than the regulars, you're right about them growing at the same rate, but they reach a greater size and consume more feed to get there. That's how I thought it worked. So the Jumbos keep growing when the regulars don't? Do I have it right now? Thanks
