Creating Quail May Seem Risky, But Many Producers Are Discovering That It Is Possible to Make a Profit Even With a Simple Structure and Few Birds. The Sale of Eggs in Nature, With Good Management and Cost Control, Can Generate an Interesting Income at the End of the Month. And All of This With Only 100 Quails.

Creating quail may seem unprofitable at first glance. Many give up just thinking about the costs of feed, energy, and other inputs.

The question is common: do the eggs manage to cover the expenses and still leave a profit? The answer may surprise you. With the right management and organization, 100 quails are already enough to generate a good monthly income.

Increasing Consumption of Eggs Boosts Market

In recent years, the demand for quail eggs has grown significantly. As a result, the product’s value has increased, encouraging both small and large producers to invest in this type of farming.

Calculation of Production and Costs With 100 Quails

The example presented by the channel Profit With Quail shows in detail the costs and real earnings with 100 quails.

With a laying rate of 93% — a number achievable with good management — the producer achieves consistent daily production.

To simplify the calculations, a constant average is used throughout the month. Even if some days vary slightly, the overall average is what matters most at the end of the month.

Feed is one of the main costs. In the example, the price per kilogram is R$ 2.90. Adding the consumption of the quails, the monthly expenditure on feed represents a significant portion of the investment.

Other costs are included: trays for the eggs (R$ 0.72 each), water consumption (R$ 1.84), vitamin supplement (R$ 2.00), and electricity used to ensure the 17 hours of daily light necessary for good laying.

In the presented case, the bulb used is LED, with 70W, operating four hours a day. The electricity cost is R$ 0.98 per kWh.

All added together, the monthly cost to maintain 100 quails was R$ 324.29.

Sale of Eggs Covers Expenses and Leaves Profit

With all the costs accounted for, it’s time to calculate the profit. The price of a tray of 30 eggs varies by region.

In the example, each tray is sold for R$ 10. There are places where the price can reach R$ 15, R$ 17, or more. Some even manage to sell for only R$ 8.

Considering the price of R$ 10 per tray, the net profit for the month was R$ 636, already deducting all costs. In regions where the price is R$ 11, the profit jumps to R$ 1,117.

If sold for R$ 8, there is still R$ 444 left. Even the lowest price represents good money, especially for those looking for extra income.

With less than one square meter, it is possible to house 200 to 300 quails in battery systems. This shows that physical space is not a barrier. The production can fit even in small backyards.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

The largest vacuum chamber in the world is located at NASA, it is 37.2 meters tall, has a floor capacity for 272 tons, and simulates space to test rockets and giant equipment.

Xi Jinping calls meeting with Trump historic, but conversation in China shows that Taiwan, trade, Iran, and tariffs could still sour the relationship between the two giants.

European Union excludes Brazil from the list of countries authorized to export meat and animal products to the bloc. The measure takes effect on September 3 and is linked to sanitary requirements regarding the use of antibiotics in Brazilian livestock.

New study reveals unexpected connection between bees, flowers, and crops and suggests a possible solution to one of the biggest dilemmas currently faced by agriculture and global food production.

Brazil is already the largest food supplier to China and is now advancing in the trade of corn and sorghum with the Chinese. The ambassador highlights that the two countries have strong agricultural complementarity and ample space to grow together.

While wine loses strength worldwide, Brazil fills the glass, breaks a historic record, and expands vineyards in a move that surprises experts.
