who do you sell to? End user? Meat or eggs

This Quail rearing will Choma people proper. Why is it that pple like to emulate whatever business others are doing without researching. Many pple are keeping quails now with the hope of selling eggs, then market floods in a few months time

who is eating these eggs and the meat? Let's start from there.

Let’s now do some simple money calculations for quail farming in Kenya. Suppose you have 1000 quails. You will need 20kg (20g x 1000) of layers mash every day. That will cost you at most Ksh.600 (20kg x sh30). Quails are very good layers; each bird can give you up to 330 eggs per year for the first two years. That is to say they lay at a rate of about 90%. Thus, with 1000 quails, let’s expect 900 eggs each day. Now the best deal is that due to the great demand and little supply of quail eggs, they are currently being sold at Ksh.35 each. That’s no hype too! Just go to a supermarket stocking quail eggs and come tell us what you find out. So we have Ksh.31,500 in sales per day. Minus our feeding costs of Ksh.600 and any other running costs that definitely won’t go beyond Ksh.1000 per day, you have a clean Ksh30,000 profit per day. Sounds too good to be true, huh? But there, you have the facts.

@Lolest, One lesson i learnt while doing chicken farming is never do farming profit maths using a calculator! Farming is like the story of Job in the old Testament. At one point you have 100 bulls in the field and the next minute a plague has struck and are at Nil!

A guy recently told me that there is someone making 1 M from quill eggs ( 10,000 birds each laying an egg a day at a price of Kshs 100 an egg) which is a cool 300M a month gross. This being a legal business, it would make drug ballons envy wakulima.

I must go try...sad only one restaurant in this whole Nairobi serves the bird.

quill noun \ˈkwil\
: the hollow central part of a feather
