Although a small sized bird, it belongs to the same bird family as pheasants(Aparo). Quails range in size depending on the species from the Japanese quail which is around 10cm tall to the larger mountain quail that can grow up to 25cm tall. Quails are generally solitary birds and spend most of their time either on their own or in a pair with just one other quail. During the mating season, it is common to see large flocks of quails as family groups convoy together in groups of up to 100 quail individuals. Quails do not tend to migrate and therefore, spend their lives within the same area.  In some parts of the world, quails are kept as poultry birds, both for the small amount of meat that they contain and for the quail’s brightly coloured eggs. These tiny coloured eggs are seen as a delicacy in some parts of the world and can often be found on menus in posh restaurants.

You can start with quail eggs but you will need a hatchery to hatch the eggs.
All quail birds house must be well protected against predators

To establish a commercial quail farm
The following are needeInitial stock :
2,000birds(female 6weeks old- point of lay) @ N300 = N600,000
500males@ N300 = N150,000
Incubator of higher capacity ( 3,000 – 4000eggs) = N280,000
Housing units for 2500birds = N 200,000
Other cost = N100,000.

Population projection within one year.
1 Quail - Egg laid per month – 24eggs. - 24 x  12 = 288eggs in a year.
2000Quails will lay – 288eggs   = 576,000eggs/chicks

Income projection
Monthly sales 2000birds lay  48,000eggs
Sales 48,000 x N20 = N960,000monthly sales from eggs.
