THE TEXAS A&M CORTUNIX QUAIL WERE DEVELOPED AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY AND SO THAT IS WHERE THEY GOT THEIR NAME FROM! TEXAS A&M'S GOAL AS I UNDERSTAND IT WAS TO DEVELOP A FAST GROWING BIRD WITH MOSTLY ALL WHITE MEAT FOR THE COMMERCIAL MEAT MARKET! THEY ARE PROLIFIC LAYERS AT LEAST MY LADY'S HAVE BEEN AND ARE!

ALL MY LADIES ARE FIRST YEAR LAYERS AND I KEEP MY HEN TO COCK RATIO AROUND 3 TO 1 AND FERTILITY HAS BEEN GREAT! WE DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR BREEDER STOCK ARE UNRELATED!

YOU BREEDER'S OUT THERE THIS WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE SOME FRESH BLOOD INTO YOUR BREEDING STOCK! GET THESE EGGS WHILE THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE AS I THINK I'M GOING TO PHAZE OUT THE TEXAS A&M AND START TO RAISE SOME BOBWHITES! I 'VE HAD QUIT A FEW ASKING ME FOR SOME BIRDS TO TRAIN THEIR DOGS WITH. WHEN THEY LEARN THAT THE A&M'S ARE WHITE THEY SEEM TO LOOSE INTEREST! WHILE EGGS ARE BEING STORED DURING THE COLLECTION PERIOD THEY ARE KEPT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED ROOM AND ON TURNERS AS TO HELP PROTECT THEIR HACTHING RATE! OUR HATCH RATES HAVE BEEN RUNNING BETTER THAN 90%! AS MOST ALREADY KNOW WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE YOUR HATCH RATE DUE TO OUR INABILITY TO CONTROL THE EGGS ONCE THEY ARE IN TRANSIT! WHAT WE CAN ASSURE YOU OF IS THAT YOUR EGGS WILL BE FRESH NO MORE THAN 2 DAYS OLD WHEN THEY LEAVE US PROVIDING PAYMENT IS MADE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS! BECAUSE OF THE PERISHABLE NATURE AND DECLINE IN HATCH RATE AS THE EGGS GET OLDER WE REQUIRE IMMEDIATE PAYPAL PAYMENT AT THIS TIME!

THE LAST SEVERAL ITEMS THAT WE'VE SHIPPED USING USPS PRIORITY HAVE BEEN GETTING DELAYED AND NOT GETTING DELIVERED FOR SEVERAL DAYS LONGER, SOME LONGER! I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A POSTAL CLERK THAT THE PRIORITY SERVICE HAS BEEN GETTING SLOWED DOWN DUE TO CONDENSING SHIPMENTS TO CERTAIN AREAS IN ORDER TO MAKE THEIR OVERALL COSTS DOWN BECAUSE OF RISING FUEL COSTS! THE USPS DOESN'T GAURANTEE DELIVERY OF PRIORITY MAIL IN THE 2-3 DAYS THAT IS LISTED ON THEIR SIGNAGE!! THEY TELL ME THAT THAT IS SIMPLY AN ESTIMATED TIME PERIOD!! WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE US POSTAL SYSTEM AND CAN NOT BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BUSINESS!

WE ARE NOT OUT TO PROFIT THROUGH THE SHIPPING CHARGES AND WE DO NOT! OUR RATES REFLECT THE ADDED EXPENSE OF USING NEW CLEAN SHIPPING MATERIALS SO THAT WE AND YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT YOU AREN'T GETTING SOMEONE ELSE'S DISEASES! WE USE NEW NOT REUSED PLASTIC EGG CARTONS AND BUBBLE WRAP WHEN PACKAGING YOUR EGGS! WITH MORE AND MORE PEOPLE BEING CONCERNED WITH THE HEALTH OF THEIR FLOCKS WE FEEL THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO PROTECT THEM FROM DISEASES!
