Who has the biggest JUMBOS

[Schroeder]

I'm surprised I could not find a thread on this in search. I'd like to work on really big Jumbos. Is there a record somewhere of the largest coturnix? If I order "Jumbo" eggs, what variance in final weight am I likely to find? I wish there was some type of ranking system so that I'd know I am starting with the best available breeding stock.

What is the largest jumbo brown or gold you ever have raised?

You'll find a huge range in "jumbos". Anywhere from 6oz birds up to reports of 16oz birds. I've only ever had the 6ozers before. Right now, my birds are only 7.5 weeks and they're 7-8oz for roos. My hens are heavier, but I didn't want to chance stressing them by weighing them, since I just started to get breeding behavior.
