Texas Quail

Large, calm quail — fast growth and practical farming

Texas Quail

The Texas A&M Quail is a meat-type line of Coturnix quail, distinguished from other quail varieties by its larger size and rapid weight gain. This white-feathered quail was developed at Texas A&M University specifically for meat production.

Texas quail weigh 50–100% more than standard Coturnix quail. Adults reach 300–400 grams, which is significant for quail. Full growth is achieved in just 6–8 weeks.

Quail farming is growing in popularity in Georgia. The Texas quail is an ideal choice for practical farming — fast growth, simple care, and high productivity.

Egg Production & Incubation

Texas quail lay 250–300 eggs per year. The eggs are small (12–16 grams) but highly nutritious and delicious. Quail eggs are rich in vitamins and trace minerals.

Incubation period: 17–18 days (shorter than chicken eggs). Temperature: 37.5°C, humidity: 60–65%.

Care Tips

Quail care differs from chicken care:

  • Housing: Quail need cages, not free-range coops. Minimum 0.05 sq.m. (150 sq.cm.) per quail.
  • Feeding: Specialized quail feed with 24–28% protein. Chicken feed is not sufficient.
  • Temperature: Quail don't tolerate cold like chickens. Winter temperature should not drop below 10°C.
  • Lighting: 14–16 hours of light needed for egg production.
