| The James Marie Farms Pharaoh Coturnix Quail are a great XL dual purpose quail. The James Marie Pharaoh lays an XL egg, typically weighing 14-15+ grams. At about 8 weeks they are ready for the freezer & are only about an ounce or less lighter in weight than the James Marie Texas A&M is at about 6-7 weeks. If you want quail for meat & large quail eggs, this may be the Coturnix variety for you. The James Marie Farms line of Texas A&M Coturnix Quail are a great XL meat quail. They grow exceptionally fast & are ready for the freezer 5-7 days earlier than the James Marie Pharaoh. Their eggs can range in size from 9 to 14+ grams. If you primarily want quail to supply fresh, healthy meat for your family, & the quail eggs are a nice bonus, this may be the Coturnix quail for you! The James Marie Farms line of Golden Manchurian Coturnix Quail are a good layer of standard sized quail eggs, typically weighing 9-11 grams. The Golden Manchurian will typically weigh up to 10 oz at 8 weeks. If you prefer the smaller quail eggs & consider meat as a nice additional benefit of raising, quail the Golden Manchurian may be the Coturnix quail for you. |
