A & M's  can have a small dot of either brown or black on the top of their heads. These are throw backs to original breeding and are acceptable, though we try to use only the solid whites in our breeding program.  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, you cant tell between the sexes by feather color.  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.  All other quail are dark meat.

 
  If your looking for a good all around marketable quail then this is the type for you.  Good white meat, average size (12 to 14 oz) , and also can be used for egg production.  If your looking for just one good type of quail to raise I would recommend this one over the rest.
  

NOTE THAT THE PICTURE SHOWS WHITES AND GOLDENS TOGETHER,  THESE ARE JUVINILE BIRDS (3-4 WEEKS OLD) NOT YET BREEDING , SHARING A GROW OUT CAGE BEFORE BEING PLACED IN breeding CAGES OUTSIDE.
