The study was based on both primary data and secondary data. This study focused on comparison of chicken and quail egg and meat production. Study identified that comparatively, quail egg and meat are having better nutrient content and rearing of quail bird is easy because of the disease resistance nature of the bird. Quail eggs strengthen the immune system, promote memory health, increase brain activity and stabilize the nervous system. The quail meat is low in cholesterol and high in iron and protein compared to chicken. The net income obtained in quail farming was lower (Rs. 0.61 per bird) than that of chicken farm (Rs. 8.58 per bird). The producer was realizing 64 per cent of consumer rupee in quail farm because of the less number of intermediaries in marketing of quail. Though the producer share in consumer rupee was low in quail egg production (65 per cent), the quail egg is available at cheaper rate comparatively to the consumer and net income was almost same in both farms. The major problems in quail farming as reported by the farmer were high price of feed and inadequate institutional credit for the development of commercial quail farms. Quail farming could be more profitable business if the problem related to it can be minimized.
