There are many benefits to quail farming, including:
- Low investment costs: Quail farming requires relatively low initial investment costs, making it a great option for small farmers.

Getting Started
If you're interested in starting a quail farm, there are a few things you need to do to get started:
- Choose a breed of quail: There are many breeds of quail available, so it's important to choose one that is best suited to your needs. Some of the most popular breeds for quail farming include the Bobwhite, Coturnix, and Japanese Quail.
- Build a quail coop: The quail coop should be large enough to accommodate your birds and provide them with plenty of room to move around. The coop should also be well-ventilated and have a secure roof to protect your birds from predators.
- Purchase quail chicks: You can purchase quail chicks from a hatchery or from a local farmer. When selecting chicks, look for healthy birds that are free of any signs of illness.
