Getting started
let me help you with my story I got it right by starting quail breeding on a small scale,i did this to get a better understanding of what i was going into. I started from the day old chicks(this will be discussed later) went to the hatchery myself,sorry forgot to tell you i bought the eggs for the hatchery as well after two days, i had lost 7 chicks and in the space of 10 days, 17 quail chicks were g mean dead). i lost most of this quail birds just for two reasons i will be discussing later,sure i had o pitfalls but guess what, you bought this book to avoid those pitfalls below are the maturity level of quail birds sellable in the market..generally speaking, are the startup points for quail breeding 1.day old 2.1 week old 3.2 weeks old 4.point of lay
Further explanation :
day old chicks are chicks hatched the same day you purchasing them, the good side of getting day old chicks is the cost . day old chicks cost the lowest,but day old chicks have high mortality rate plus the fact that you cannot tell the male to f Sign up to vote on this title ratio which is a disadvantage for a new farmer

The pitfalls to avoid
1.Base on your capacity financially,you may choose to breed quails at any level of gr but i would recommend you go for the day to 1 week old 2.you need to know if the breeder you buying the quails from have been feeding them enough for them to start producing eggs at the sixth week if you going for quails at t point of lay location: although quail are also called game birds which means the can be breed on a large expanse of land ,it is not so in nigeria and even if we want to practice that i don't think individual will put down acres of land solely for quail farming.
with that been said ,i would recoment you locate your quail farm out skirt or less pop areas.an uncompleted building may go a long way,as it is not yet occupied,the reaso been that most birds dont like noise. a cage at your backyard may also be good for the chicks,or you may,just locate them anywhere suitable for animals to be alone
Housing
housing quail is just the same way chicken are housed ,the only difference been tha are smaller when compared with chickens so the cages or pens are usually small too housing for the day old chicks day old chicks to 3 weeks old are usually housed in a closet usually a room or some kind of enclosed cages as shown below Sign up to vote on this title

depending on their numbers a regular brown box can take about 20 chicks
temperature control
one of the reason i lost some of the birds when i first started was because i don't kno the required temperature for quail chicks(day to 1 week old) the chicks at these level of growth require 50 to 60 degree celsius of heat,definitely a the body temperature ..i don't know why, but thats just what they need to be alive, and how do you generate the heat for the quails with all the nepa and phcn problem have in our country off course we have an alternative which is the coal stove,charcoal stove if you don
my first statement how do i do it by close observation, i have found that a coal stove can serve up to a hundred to 3 h birds depending on the size you using the base of the coal stove will just be wide enough to let out it heats without letting ou coal so as to not get the chicks killed

so in order to make my explanation simple to understand ,i have decided to break it d into categories starter feeds this are feeds for the for the day old to 3 weeks old, this feeds are high in protein therefore good for the chicks moe so their are different kind of starter feed but the one i use which is considered th is the ,top feeds growers feeds or mesh:these is feed to the 3 weeks old and above
layers/finishers mesh:the finishers mesh are feed to quails from the 6th week and t
continuously
feeding: the feeds for the day old chicks to the 3 weeks old are usually placed on a flattened s eg a cotton on the floor so as to not hinder the chicks from getting to their food, after the third week you can now put their feed in the proper feed which is the same a one used in poultry farming Type of drinkers and feeders
marketing ;
am sure you already have this in mind before starting to read this book that the end r should be sales the market before you can thrive in this business ,i would advice you network with other farme
you,this will help you gain the needed balance before you start looking for other mark the reason being that this farmers may get orders beyond capacity which will m Sign uptheir to vote on this title them come after you provided you have what they need Useful Not useful 2.super markets:you could supply supermarkets especially large ones 3.hotels
