I have been raising Bobwhite quail for bird dog training the last year or so. I also raise Cornish cross chickens for meat, several turkeys for Thanksgiving for us and for friends and neighbors, and keep a sizable laying flock (20-40 hens). I've been thinking of switching to the A&M quail and raising more than I use for dog training. Do the A&M quail fly as well as the bobwhite's? Or at least good enough for dog training?
 
Coturnix quail (Texas A&M are a colour of coturnix) don't fly as well as bobwhites. They do fly, and some individuals can fly well, but it's not consistent. I've had some coturnix only able to fly about 5 feet while others have gone across my yard and over the house.
