Item Description

Texas A & M (White) Pharaoh Quail seem to be the most popular of our quail. They stand about 4 - 5 inches high until it comes time for the male to look for a mate. When that happens he will stretch up to between 6 - 7 inches high and let out the neatest call. They have a small dot of either brown or black on the top of their heads. Every once in awhile it will creep down to a spot on their backs or tails. Each has it's own distinct pattern. The males are generally smaller than the females. These birds were specifically bred by the Texas A & M University for their size and their all white meat traits. Restaurants prefer to serve these birds because they are all white meat. You can have these birds inside in a normal bird cage or outside depending on your preference. As with all quail they do equally well raised on wire or in ground pens. Getting these birds is a gem in itself.
