Hi koboa, I understand that the Texas A & M whites are very good for eating, as they are called the white meat quail. I only have 3 of them that I hatched last month amongst a batch of Brown coturnix eggs, so I will not be eating them, but hatching their eggs, and then eating the quail when I get a goodly number of them.
