How to Raise Quail Indoorsat 4/08/2009 06:00:00 AMYou want a steady supply of eggs and poultry, but

you don't have any space. Or maybe you don't have a

backyard. Or maybe poultry isn't allowed in your

town. Here's a solution: raise quail.

They are small birds, so that makes them

easy to raise. They only need a square foot of

space per 6 birds. You should have 2 females

to every 1 male, but a better number is 13

females and 7 males, for a total of 20 birds.

Quail are pretty quiet birds. Chances are, if

you keep the cages clean, no one will know you have them unless they

see them.

Males don't hold to monogamy so they'll breed with any females they get

near.

Quail can be kept indoors year-round. The regular bright indoor lights

encourage laying.

Quail hens will start producing eggs at 6 weeks old, and the birds can be

eaten at 4 or 5 weeks old. The meat may be a lot less than a chicken,

but is decidedly lower in cholesterol and is quite healthy.

Remember, if you are going to eat your birds, you'll need to plan it out

ahead of time, making sure you have fertilized eggs being tended

(whether by a broody or in an incubator) timed to have more birds ready

to eat down the road.

Thoroughly wash and sterilize the incubator/hatchery area in between

uses. This will help cut down on disease or infection.

Never wash an egg that you want to hatch. Clean it lightly with sandpaper

or another abrasive. If you must wash it, use warm water (105 degrees F)

as using cold will draw any infection into the egg.

You need to prepare the living spaces for

the quail before you get the eggs. There

are a lot available already made, or you

can make them. Some people use rabbit

cages. Remember, though, in order to

raise healthy birds for eggs and meat, you

need to provide clean healthy living

quarters. Keep them off the floor, and

keep them protected from the elements

(if you find space outdoors). If you choose

indoors, you need to keep the area

ventilated, clean and disease/germ free, as well as being able to control

the temperatures.

Collect droppings regularly (frequently). Once a day at least. Dispose of

them or use in your compost.

Are you going to just eat the eggs, cook your birds, or sell the quail to

others for food? Deciding ahead of time will help you plan out how many

cages you need, nesting materials, butchering facilities, and so forth.

There is so much more information about raising quail. If you decide to

go this route, be sure to get your eggs or chicks from someone very

knowledgeable, and ask your questions ... from hatching to caring for to

butchering. If they won't help, find someone who will.

Whether you raise the quail to sell, as a hobby with other birds, for eggs or for

food, having the little living birds nearby can be a real joyful experience, and

give you a better understanding of birds in general.

How to raise quail from eggsSubmitted by Richard Holliman on 3 June 2008 - 9:54am.

Short title: Raising quail

Author: Douglas J.R. Walker

Author affiliation: Neale-Wade Community College

Activity Description:

This activity has been specifically designed withschool-age children in mind, but it could beadapted without major revisions to work withina family setting or with adults.

The activity is based on hatching and raisingquail from eggs, and can extend over a numberof weeks depending on which aspect of it ismost important to you. The guidelines givenbelow are based on the way I have run theactivity, but many alterations could be madewhile retaining its essence.

As I have used this activity with school-agechildren, recruitment and advertising has not been an issue. In my experience any group of students given theopportunity to take part have been enthusiastic. I have seen this activity engage low-achieving pupils in aschool, where half the class had special educational needs. I believe it would also suit an after-school ‘gifted-and-talented’ science club, and hope to find out this year. Most recently, I have been running this activity withmy form group, which consists of four or five students from each year group between 11 and 16 years of age.

This activity has fascinated and inspired students of all ages, plus small children, parents and other school staff(including caretakers and cleaners). Students with whom I have no direct involvement still ask on a daily basis tosee the eggs or chicks (Figure 1).

The initial aim of this activity is to demonstrate the life stages of quail and to introduce an element of awe andwonder, but I have also found several useful connections to the school science syllabus. So although the mainobjective is to engage and enthuse participants with this area of science, various connections to the QCA schemeof work that can also be made, as listed below.

Year 7 Year 8

Unit B - Reproduction Unit A - Food and Digestion

Unit C - Environment and Feeding Relationships Unit D - Ecological Relationships

Unit D - Variation and Classification Unit I - Heating and Cooling

Year 9 GCSE

Unit A - Inheritance and Selection AQA - B1b - Evolution and Environment

Unit D - Plants for Food AQA - P1a and P1b

Unit I - Energy and Electricity

As I continue to expand this activity, further opportunities for involving the participants and developing cross-curricular links have emerged. In our school we are building a quail house as part of the coursework for GCSEdesign and technology, for example. Quail eggs are also being used in an ‘eco-friendly’ school club, and feathersand empty eggs have been used by students in their artwork. There may also be some scope for involvingstudents in business studies, as one restaurant has expressed an interest in buying the eggs.

I run this as a class activity, but provide each student with two eggs; allowing for a 50% hatch rate this normallyprovides one chick per student. The number of participants can be varied to match your resources and how yourun it. If each participant is to have their own egg, you will most likely be limited by space in the incubator.

Planning and organisation:

About eight weeks is required to follow the complete lifecycle of the quail, so this activity requires considerablepreparation and an ongoing commitment. Most arrangements can be planned in advance and actual preparationmade just before starting the activity. Most of the materials are not required until after the initial three weeks

(Stage 1).

A list for each of the two main stages is given below.

Stage You will need:

1:Incubationof eggs

A supply of fertile quail eggs (or chicken eggs, although incubation time will belonger and space requirements greater for chickens). There’s no immediateway to check if they have been fertilised, but ask if they have been laid in anenvironment where males and females are mixed. Fertilised eggs are availableon the online auction site eBay ( http://www.ebay.co.uk).An incubator (Figure 2); these are relatively expensive to buy new but you mayfind someone who could lend you one. Alternatively you could look for plans tobuild your own, although this would require a reasonable level of technicalskill. A standard wall socket is required to power the incubator.A standard glass thermometer; although modern incubators have a reliablethermostat I always prefer to double check temperatures. This also provides anopportunity to check participants’ ability to measure temperature using athermometer.A method of increasing the humidity around the eggs. This is not absolutelynecessary but is recommended for improved hatch rates. Most incubators havebuilt-in humidifiers that simply need to be topped up with water.A pencil for labeling eggs (Students place their initials on the eggs, giving theman element of ownership which can lead to greater enthusiasm andinvolvement.)Leg rings may be used to identify chicks once they have hatched. For quailchicks 4 mm leg bands are ideal. I find the clip varieties easier to apply thanthe slip-on rings.

2: Raisingthe chicks

A place for the chicks to live, normally referred to as a ‘brooder’ (a heatedenclosure for raising birds). This can be as simple as a cardboard box(decoration by participants optional) or an old wooden drawer (Figure 3). Amesh cover or high walls could be useful as chicks may hop out as they getlarger.Corrugated cardboard or birdcage sandpaper should be used for flooring thebrooder for the first few days, in order to give the chicks greater grip andprevent a condition known as splay legs. I find birdcage sandpaper cheap andeasy to replace. Once their plumage has developed, the birds can be movedoutdoors to an enclosure that protects them from predators (Figure 4).

A heat lamp is required for providing warmth to the chicks in the brooder. Thisis easily obtainable from larger pet stores or reptile suppliers. Be sure toobtain a suitable fitting (probably ceramic) for it, as large amounts of heat willbe produced. A metal mesh over the mouth of the lampshade prevents chicksand straying hands from touching the bulb. Red lamps are preferable for quailchicks as there are some reports that white light can induce cannibalism – inthe birds that is! Some guides suggest a painted 100 W bulb should suffice,although I have not tested this yet.Feeders and drinkers can be found in most pet stores (Figures 3 and 4). I wouldrecommend smaller ones until chicks are older and moved out of the brooder,for three reasons.

Chicks are susceptible to drowning in larger drinkers (marbles or sterilisedpebbles can be used to decrease the depth of water) (Figure 3)Larger feeders or drinkers are generally taller and may interfere with anylid or mesh cover you use to prevent chicks hopping from the brooder.Taller feeders and drinkers may be damaged by closer proximity to theheat lamp.

Once the chicks reach adulthood a larger feeder and drinker may ensure aconstant supply of food and reduce the need for frequent refills.

Figure 2: Despite its age and lack of modern features this incubator has served well. A standard thermometerallows participants to make regular temperature checks.

By happy coincidence my school owned an incubator, which for years had been used solely for promotingbacterial growth. Despite the age of the incubator and lack of a legible dial it became the first home for 59 quaileggs, kindly donated by a local farmer. While I could use chicken eggs, which were certainly more available, thesize of quail eggs – and the eventual size of the bird – makes them more manageable. Perhaps more importantly,the incubation time of the quail eggs is only 17 days compared with the 22 days of chicken eggs. While five daysmay not seem significant, it does involve one more weekends during which someone must be found to turn theeggs if they are to be incubated in school, unless you are fortunate enough to find an incubator that turns theeggs automatically.

Figure 3: Hatchlings in their brooder provide tremendous entertainment and enjoyment. Marbles can be seen inthe water dish – these prevent drowning.

Figure 4: Some netting and an old rabbit hutch provide a safe enclosure for quail. Naturally ground-nestingbirds, they only seek shelter during torrential downpour or strong winds. The main purpose of the hutch is toprovide a rain cover for their food.



The activity, at least in terms of how I have designed and run it in the past, normally begins in a classroom. Oncethe chicks have hatched and developed plumage they can be moved to an outdoor location that is secure againstpredators (Figure 4).

Consider carefully the location you intend to move them to. Make sure it will not cause problems due to itssmell, with people who have a fear or allergy of birds, or with hay fever sufferers if you intend to use beddingsuch as straw. Netting or a wire roof is needed to prevent quail from flying out of the enclosure.

It is also worth noting that once they have reached maturity the males can be quite vocal at dawn and dusk. Thistends to be more of a problem when there are too many males. A ratio of about four males to 10 females resultsin very little or no noise. However, if there are a roughly even number of males and females the noise levelsbecome distracting. Aside from noise, males can be identified by their cinnamon coloured chests whereasfemales have speckled chests.

Organising the participants

In terms of participants this activity is extremely flexible. Young children, students across the secondary agerange and adults can all take part. I run the activity with one class at a time, due to only having one incubator.This prevents space becoming restricted by limiting the number of hatchlings at any time. Participants can begiven the following responsibilities throughout the activity.

During incubation eggs should be turned (ideally) three times a day at regular intervals. Turning twice a daymay reduce the number of successful hatchings but will still work, and is sometimes necessary if running theactivity in a school.Preparation and construction of the brooderRegular feeding and watering of the birdsCleaning the brooder and later the aviaryCollecting eggs once the birds have reached maturity

Supply each participant with one or two fertilised quail eggs (no more than five days old) and ask them to checkthe eggs for any signs of damage. Undamaged eggs can be marked or labeled with the initials of the participant –in pencil, as ink may penetrate the shell. Eggs are then carefully placed into an incubator preset to 37°C, andfollowing any incubator guidelines as models can vary.

The humidity of the incubator should also be considered. Most incubators have a tray for water that should befilled regularly. Although it is claimed that a high humidity will prevent moisture escaping from the eggs, thereis some debate regarding the need for this. Personally I err on the side of caution and find it sufficient to fill atray in the incubator with water.

Lie eggs on their side with initials facing upwards, making it easy to identify which eggs have been turned sonone is missed. Participants can draw up a rota for turning the eggs. When turning the eggs check thetemperature of the incubator – I find it useful to leave a glass thermometer inside the incubator, allowingparticipants to double check the temperature and giving me the opportunity to make sure they know how toread a thermometer correctly and discuss human error when making scientific measurements.

Ideally turn the eggs three times a day at roughly 8-hour intervals. In my experience a normal hatching ratewhen eggs are turned in this manner is 50%, dropping to approximately 20% when eggs are turned only twice aday.

During the incubation period the eggs can be ‘candled’. This involves shining a light through the shell,illuminating the developing embryo. Quail shells are quite dark and require a high intensity candler for bestresults (Figures 5a, b). Candling of eggs should be done in a dark room or a cupboard for best results.

Figure 5a: Candling an egg will show if theembryo is developing. Blood vessels should bevisible in a healthy egg.

Figure 5b: If light completely illuminates theegg the embryo has failed to develop. Theseeggs should be disposed of.



After seven days blood vessels will be visible in eggs in which the embryo is developing. At this stage any eggswhich illuminate completely and show no development should be removed from the incubator. There is no harmin candling the eggs each day, and participants may enjoy taking photos and producing a timeline of the activity.

On the sixteenth day of incubation participants may be able to hear the chicks making a gentle ‘chirping’ soundfrom inside the egg. On the seventeenth day movement of the egg will indicate it is due to hatch. Chicks willappear wet as they leave the egg, and should be left in the incubator until dry. Once dry they can be moved byhand to the brooder. If chicks are struggling to break out of the egg they should not be assisted. This can bedistressing, but any chick not able to leave the egg is unlikely to survive; helping it may only prolong itssuffering.

Life in the brooder

Position the heat lamp so the floor of the brooder is at approximately 37 °C. This can be achieved by suspendingthe lamp above the brooder and adjusting its height until the desired temperature is reached.

Watching the behaviour of the chicks is an excellent indication of the temperature. If they huddle togetherdirectly under the lamp they are too cold, and you should consider lowering the lamp slightly. If the chicks moveas far as possible away from the lamp then they are too hot and the lamp should be raised.

As the chicks get older the lamp can be raised by an inch (approximately 2.5 cm) per day, although continue tomonitor behaviour of the chicks to ensure their comfort. A constant supply of food and fresh water should beavailable within the brooder. Any water supply should be shallow to prevent small chicks from drowning.

While in the brooder I often feed chicks with mealworms or maggots to demonstrate energy transfer in foodchains. Dried mealworms are available from most pet shops although the quail seem to prefer live alternatives.

After two to three weeks in the brooder the quail will have grown considerably in size and lost their down to abrown or yellow plumage. At this stage they should be ready to be moved outside to the enclosure.

Life in the enclosure

Quail only seek shelter in heavy rain or wind. They enjoy having dry soil or sand to scratch in, and having somevegetation in the quail enclosure is ideal, although small plants and grass may suffer from their attention.

As they reach maturity the females will lay one egg each day, and can be induced to lay all year round if theyhave at least 14 hours of light per day. The eggs can be eaten in the same manner as chicken eggs, although theytake less time to cook due to their small size. I can personally recommend fried and boiled quail eggs.

Equipment and costs

The cost of the incubator depends on its capacity and features such as automatic turning of the eggs, but £80should be sufficient. You may be able to borrow an incubator from a local smallholder or farmer, or you mayfind parents or a school (ask the science department) may own one you can borrow.

Further expenses include feed for the birds and devices for feeding and watering. Recommended food for quail ischick crumb as it has a high protein content. This can be bought from pet stores or agricultural retailers, andmost pet stores can obtain chick crumb if they do not already supply it. There are also online suppliers who willdeliver. I buy 20 kg bags of chick crumb, and allow for roughly 40 g of feed per bird daily.

Evaluation suggestions:

I have never completed a formal written evaluation of this activity, although I do continue to improve it andincorporate new aspects each time I run it.

Suggested further reading and advice:

According to CLEAPPS (Consortium of Local Education Authorities for the Provision of Science Services -http://www.cleapss.org.uk/prifr.htm) schools can keep up to 50 birds without having to notify the Departmentfor the Environment, Food and Rural affairs (DEFRA). However, notifying DEFRA is neither difficult nor timeconsuming and may give more credit to the activity should any interested parties enquire about potential risksassociated with keeping birds.

Hand-reared quail will not incubate and hatch their own eggs, so any future generations will also need to beartificially incubated. Be wary about raising subsequent generations, as quail from one source may be relatedand inbreeding may lead to difficulties in hatching.

Various other guides for raising domesticated bird species are available online.

Getting Started

Interested in raising quail or other game birds? First you will need a cage.

A good general guideline is to have two square feet allotted for every adult bird. My cages are made of scrap lumberand chicken wire. I used small hogrings to attach the wire to the wood. Construction does not have to be overly robust,as walls made of wire won't encounter many shear forces from the wind, and need only keep small birds inside. Thebottom half of the cage, however, should be made sturdy enough to prevent animals such as skunks, cats, or dogs frombreaking in. It is also wise to extend the chicken wire a foot into the ground so that animals cannot tunnel in or out.

Your cage will also become a magnet for neighborhood cooper's hawks (link), which are fond of killing the birds bysending the birds into a panic and then grabbing their heads as they poke them out of the wire openings. I solved thisproblem by lining the lower 8 inches of the cages with thin boards. To make construction easier, my first cage wasonly six feet tall. With the exception of coturnix quail, however, all the quail varieties like flying to high perches atnight, and every additional foot of height is thus greatly appreciated. My largest cage is eight feet wide, fourteen feetlong, and eight feet high.

General guidelines

1. Commerical hatcheries typically have a ratio of one male to 3 or more females. This is done to minimize territorialdisputes between aggressive males, and is adequate for fertility purposes.

2. Give your birds a place where they can have shelter from the rain and shade from the hot sun. Also, cover the foodand the water so that they don't get drenched in downpours

3. Purina "Game Bird Chow" comes in different varieties depending on the bird's stage in life. This is a good feed, butexpensive. I have found Turkey Starters and Growers to be adequate. I also mix in chicken scratch for adult birds.They particularly seem to like milo and wheat.

4. Birds raised on processed feeds love fresh fruit, vegetables, and GREENS.

5. Keep the cage clean and put the feed in a place where rats can't get to them. Cockroaches can be a problem if thecage isn't clean.

Hatching and Raising Chicks

Hatching and raising baby quail can be fun but is not for the faint of heart. The little birds are very delicate and needoutside warmth. Using a normal light bulb as a brooding lamp is often a problem, because it induces the chicks to pickat each other and even cannibalize each other (!). I solved this by spraypainting the lightbulbs blue. You can alwaysbuy commercial brooders but they're rather expensive, and how serious are you about all this anyway?

It's best to raise the birds in brooding cages until they're large enough to go outdoors. This is usually around 4 weeks orso.

INTRODUCTION

The quail, locally known as pugo, is a small game bird found in temperate and tropicalregions throughout the world.

The true or Old World quail is a migratory bird that can be found in Europe, Asia, Africaand Australia. The American quail (sometimes called “patridge”) and is non-migratory.

In the Bible, (Exodus, Chapter XVI, verse 13), quail was served by the Lord to the fleeingIsraelites. During the present critical period of population explosion, with rampantmalnutrition and unrelenting price rises for both cereal and meat, the quail is an answerto the consumer’s need for cheap eggs and meat, just as it was during that criticalBiblical time.

BREEDS

Many people are unfamiliar with the breeds of quail being raised in the Philippines Today.Some are surprised to learn that there is a white quail.

All the popular breeds used for eggs and meat commercial production are sub-varieties ofthe Corturnix species, which is able to produce eggs throughout the year.

The different breeds found in the Philippines are:

1. Native – Found in the fields and forests; the common “pugo”. This quail is not suitablefor commercial production.

2. Japanese Taiwan – Popularly known as “Chinese Quail”. It has dark brown feathersmixed with white and gray. The female has a gray underside flecked with darkerfeathers, while the male has many reddish feathers on the underside.

3. Japanese Seattle – This is as an American breed similar to the Japanese Taiwan; it hasjersey (rust-maroon) feathers at the base of the heads.

4. Negro – Black or grayish black.

5. Tuxedo – Black with a white spot on the breast.

6. Silver – White with black eyes; from the Canaan Valley, Egypt.

8. Brown Cross No. 2

The Japanese Taiwan breed is commonly raised in the Philippines. However, its eggs aresmall compared to those of improved breeds, and egg production is lower. It has alsobeen found to be susceptible to respiratory diseases. The six other breeds listed are allgood. They are heavy egg producers and are resistant to diseases.

For beginners, the Japanese Seattle is recommended as it is a heavy egg producer andthe male can be easily recognized by the color of its feathers as early as 30 days of age.This means a saving on feeds, as the male can be culled and sold as broilers.

To insure success, select a good breed and buy stock from a reliable breeder. Goodchicks will cost about P 8.50 day old. Some selected breeders may cost as much as P35.00 each.

Quail are easy to raise and the housing required is not as complicated as for chickens. A4 feet x 8 feet x 1foot high cage can house 250-300 layers. The flooring and all sides aremade of 1/2-inch mesh welded wire while the top or cover should be of lawanit toprevent the birds from flying. The quail has a tendency to fly upwards if the top of thecage is made of mesh wire, and this may cause head injuries.

Cages can also be made smaller (2 feet x 4 feet x 1 foot) and stacked in four decks, with3 to 4 inches between the decks. A large number of birds can thus be raised in a verysmall space. The cage can be placed under any roof, under an elevated house, or in agarage.

The cages should be rat-proof; rats are the greatest enemy of the birds.

FEEDS AND FEEDING

Quail can be fed with any available chicken feed at the rate of one kilo for every 50 quaillayers per day. Add finely ground shell (limestone) to produce stronger and thicker eggshells. Best results were found when chicken broiler starter mash (22% protein) was fedto both layers and broilers.

A 1/2-inch mash welded wire should be cut to fit the feed trough and laid directly on thefeed to prevent the birds from scratching out the feeds. Another one inch mesh weldedwire should be used to cover the trough to prevent the birds from dusting themselveswith the feeds.

Keep feed in the troughs all the time, as feeding should be continuous 24 hours everyday to get higher egg production. Light should be provided so the birds will continue toeat at night. If this is done, some birds may lay two eggs in 24 hours.

CARE AND MANAGEMENT

Quail, unlike some other fowl, are not delicate birds. They can be raised in any suitableand comfortable place in the house. The birds do not easily contract fowl diseasescommon to poultry, especially chickens.

Vaccination is not needed and the drugs usually given to chickens do not have to beadded to quail feed or drinking water. However, should any disease outbreak occur, thedrugs used for chicken can be used. Deworming of the breeders is done at least everyfour months or three times a year. Use the same dewormers as for chickens, but followthe direction on the package for smaller birds.

INCUBATION

Normally, “pugo” will hatch their own eggs, but the imported breeds mentioned will notbrood to incubate their eggs; an incubator must therefore be used. For a table-typeelectric-operated incubator, a temperature of 1010 – 1030 F should be maintained duringthe incubation period. For the forced-draft incubators, the temperature should be kept at98-1000 F. Further instructions on operating an electric incubator will be found at the endof this pamphlet.

Candling is done on the 11th day of incubation. From setting, quail eggs will hatch on the18th day.

BROODING

The brooder should be a closed compartment, 2 ft. x 4 ft. x 6 inches. The flooring, topand three of the sides should be made of lawanit or boards while the front side should bemade of 1/4-inch mesh welded wire for ventilation. This is adequate for 500 chicks. Abigger brooder may be made to fit the raiser’s requirements.

A 50-watt bulb should be placed a little away from the middle of the brooder to allowroom for the chicks to stay away from the heat source in case there is over-heating inthe brooder.

Brooding procedures are similar to those for day-old chicks:

1. Prepare the brooder; lay old newspapers on the floor of the brooder, covering itentirely.

2. Prepare a drinking trough; you can improvise with plastic glasses and plastic covers, orlids large enough to overlap 1/4 of an inch around the glass rims. Bore a hole in the toprim of the plastic glass to allow water to flow out when inverted over the plastic cover.This makes a good drinking trough for the chicks. Commercial waterers for chickens withtheir deep, wide edges are not advisable for pugo because they might drown in them.

3. Spread feeds for the chicks over the newspapers and place the waterers away from thelight bulb. Leave the space under the bulb free for the chicks to lay down or crowdtogether. Do not place feeds in that area as the chicks will lay down and blind themselveswhile under the heat of the bulb.

4. See to it that there is always plenty of water. Replace feeds and water as they areconsumed.

5. Observe the chicks – if they crowed under the bulb, there is insufficient heat; if theymove away from the bulb, there is too much heat. Remedy the situation by changing thebulb, as required, using a lower watt bulb for less heat.

6. On the sixth or seventh day, move the chicks to another compartment but with theshort sides open (screened with wire mesh). The chicks now need more space; only 250to 300 will fit in a 2 feet x 4 feet x 6 inches cage.

7. When the birds are 15 days old, transfer them to growing cages. By this time they arefully feathered.

SEXING

On the 30th day, males of the Japanese seattle breed can already be recognized by theirfeathers, so they can be segregated and sold as broilers. Males of the other breeds canbe recognized by their throaty hoarse cry and the protruding upper vent with a cream-like substance coming out of the vent when it is pressed upwards.

Females have a blackish or grayish vent and a sharp, high pitched, long shrilling,melodious chirp.

After 41 days from hatching, the birds should start laying eggs. Remove the males notintended for breeding and the undeveloped females and sell them as broilers.

BREEDING

The early laying birds may be segregated for use as breeders, while late layers are raisedfor table egg production.

Experience has shown that if female quail do not answer the throaty cry of the male theyare not happy. The right proportion of males in the flock is necessary for a highpercentage of hatchability. The usual ratio is 70 females to 30 males. Too many males inthe flock is indicated when females have bare backs with the feathers worn off, while aninadequate number of males causes fighting among the females.

However, females will not fight if there is no male at all among them, as proved whentable egg layers are kept separately with no males.

MARKETING

The demand for quail eggs and meat is so great that marketing is no problem. This is aproject where buyers come to you, especially for the eggs. In streets, stores, restaurants,hotels and bars, quail eggs and meat are in great demand.

Quail eggs can be sold fresh, boiled, salted, pickled or as balut. Quail meat can be servedbarbecued, fried, as adobo, guinataan, or in any way chicken is cooked.

Some reputable bakeries use quail eggs for baking and for making leche flan.

Hard-boiled eggs are sold by hawking vendors in plastic bags. The popular nido soup inrestaurants comes to your table garnished with quail eggs.

CONCLUSION

With the advent of the “instants” like instant coffee and tea, soft drinks, instant soup,



etc., quail eggs and meat can also follow.

From egg to egg production is barely two months, or 57 days to be exact. For meatproduction, the time is even shorter. A quail egg is hatched in just 16 days and the hen isready to lay eggs after 41 days. Isn’t that instant?

Nutrition-wise, this is an answer to the quest for a source of economical protein formalnourished children.

Economically, it is a very promising project. If you raise 100 layers with 70% eggproduction there will be 70 eggs a day. The birds will consume two kilos of feeds a day,say worth P 3.00. If the eggs are sold at P 0.10 each, there will be P 7.00 from dailysales. Less the P 3.00 feed cost, this means P 4.00 profit daily. Multiply this by twice orthrice the number of layers. Won’t it be very nice additional income? Why don’t you tryit?

HOW TO OPERATE AN ELECTRIC TABLE-TOP INCUBATOR/HATCHER FOR QUAIL

In order to get a higher hatching efficiency, the electric incubator/hatcher should beproperly operated. The following guidelines should be strictly observed in the incubationof quail eggs.

1. Check and recheck wire and wire connections of the incubator. Check also the electricvoltage (220V) before plugging in the incubator. Fill all water pans for humidity controland place egg trays without eggs inside the incubator.

2. Run the incubator for two days or until the desired temperature (1010 to 1030F) ismaintained. Slowly adjust the thermostat by turning the control knob clockwise to lowerthe temperature and counter clockwise to raise the temperature. Usually, the incubator ispre-tested and the thermostat adjusted before shipment, but slight adjustments will stillbe needed, depending on the place and weather conditions.

3. Arrange the eggs in the egg tray, allowing room for turning. Do not load the traytightly as the eggs may be broken when turning.

4. Before placing the trays of eggs in the incubator, check the water pans under the traysfor humidity control. These should be properly covered with wire screen to preventdrowning if a chick drops from the egg tray.

5. On top of the incubator, place a reminder chart of the activities to carry out duringincubation:

a. Turn the eggs three times a day by passing the hands lightly over the eggs to the rightin the morning, to the left at noon, and downward in the afternoon.b. Candle on the 11th day.c. Expect hatching on the 16th to the 18th day.

Other features may be added to the chart, like percentage of infertile eggs and hatchedchicks.

1. Three days before hatching, stop turning the eggs. On hatching day, when the chicksare out of the shells, the air vents on top of the incubator should be fully opened toincrease ventilation and to hasten drying of the feathers.

2. Transfer the chicks to the brooder after their feathers are dry on the 17th or 18th day.

3. Clean the trays. Remove all egg shells and late-hatch or unhatched eggs in preparationfor the next batch of eggs for incubation.

1. lou Says: November 1st, 2007 at 4:36 pmLaying mash for chicken with only 18% crude protein content(layer quails require26% CP) costs P20.00 per kilo x 2 kilos for 100 birds/day = P40.00 feed cost. If wesell the eggs at P.10/egg x 70 eggs = P7.00 we will end up with nothing. Maybesell them at P1.00 each fresh egg and earn P30.00 a day minus water andelectricity. What’s the current retail price for fresh quail eggs? Thank you verymuch.

2. pinoyfarmer Says: November 1st, 2007 at 8:11 pmI went to the supermarket yesterday and saw quail eggs at P25.00 per dozenretail. I have observed even before that retail is usually above P20.00 per dozen. Ithink the average for wholesale should fall between P1.00 to P1.50 per egg.

15. Voltaire E. Zoleta Says: April 7th, 2008 at 2:54 amI thank God for the very generous information on this site about quail raising. I’mvery much interested in getting into this business. I’d like to know more about theland area required in raising quails and the investment cost on housing and tabletop incubator/hatchery.I would appreciate much your reply to my inquiries. God bless you more.

16. pinoyfarmer Says: April 9th, 2008 at 11:19 pmHello Voltaire E. Zoleta,

The space requirements for quails varies on age. You may view it on page 2 of theattached link below.

The housing cost depends on the materials used and its prices on your location.There are housing materials included on the guide below and that should give youan estimate for the cost.
