Now available, a recently developed Gourmet White Meat Coturnix Quail. They were genetically selected for fast growth, wide breast and white meat. These Quail weigh 10oz. in 6 weeks and dress out 73%. When cooked the taste is compared to Bobwhite meat. It has a more juicy and flavorful texture. Dr. Fred Thornberry of the Poultry Science Dept. at Texas A & M University developed this new bird. He says this is the meat bird of the future.
