In times when people are now venturing into multiple businesses, a couple named Kanniyappan and Kalpana, who hail from Reddipalayam village, Ariyalur in Tamil Nadu, have been running a quail farm in a vacant house near the area. It has been found that the business has been running well and has become profitable.
As per reports, the couple started with just 50 quails. Now, after their business has become profitable, they are currently maintaining 2,100 quails. Quails are small, chick-like birds. Their meat and eggs are quite popular and are transported to various nearby cities.
Kanniyappan and Kalpana have been married for the past 25 years. Earlier, the couple used to run a small photo studio. But with the development of technology, the opportunities started decreasing, and they suffered huge losses. At that time, the couple decided to start a quail farm in a vacant house.
Talking to Local18, Kalpana revealed that she talked to her husband and started a quail farm as there was no income in the photo studio business. At that time, they needed more income to support their family. She also revealed that although there were some problems while raising quail in the initial period, they got better, and now they are rearing quail as their income.
Kanniyappan said that they started the quail farm in a space of about 700 square feet in their house. He added that they are now raising around 2,100 quail chicks in the space and selling around 1,500 eggs per day. He added that these eggs are being exported to various cities, including Chennai, Tirunelveli and Panruti, and some people are even placing orders for home deliveries. He also advised the youth to come forward and become self-reliant. He further advised them to opt for the quail business, as it is still untapped and can help them earn a lot of money.
