Hello Sir
Teetar is a common breeding resident in Haryana and rest of India.
This bird is found in most open habitats up to altitudes of 500 m.
It prefers drier areas, avoiding humid tracts.

Government of India has permitted farming of the domesticated quails for commercial purposes keeping in view of its potential in the country vide. Ministry letter no. 3-22/84-FRN (WL), dated 72/06/1997 and exempted from wild life (protection) Act 1972.

They are also called Quails and are reared in intensive system (confine to the house).
Quails can be reared in both deep litter system and cage (battery) system.
Rearing space required in floor type is 0.2 sq.ft /adult quail and in cage (battery) system is 0.16 sq.ft /adult quail.
The quail farm should be located at a distance not less than 2.5-3.0 km. away from wildlife and forest area where there is human habitation between the farm and wildlife/forest notified area.

BROODING: 1) In quails 0-3 weeks period is called brooding period; however in winter brooding period extended up to 4th weeks. Quail is not the best starter in their life and will really need some tender loving care to go them safely through the first week of life. The average mortality is 6-10% during brooding period.
2) The brooding of day old quails can be done using infra red bulbs or gas brooders and traditional brooding system. Starting temperature is 1000 F followed by reduction of 50 F in every 4 days up to 3 weeks of age.
3) The drowning of chicks is prevented by putting marbles or pebbles in waterers for first 7 days.

FEEDING AND WATERING:Feed ingredients used in chicken ration may also be used for quails.
The demands for some of the nutrients particularly proteins minerals like manganese, zinc, copper, iron etc., and vitamin requirement is higher in quails because of its fast growth.

Quail starts to lay at 5-6 week of age and reach peak production by about 9-10 week.
Under favorable environments, quails produced an average of 280-290 eggs per year.
Quails require about 16-18 hours light for optimum production.
75% quail eggs are laid between 3 to 6 p.m. and 20% of the eggs in darkness.
Quail eggs are multi-colored and heavily mottled with black, brown and blue.
Weight of egg is 6.7 – 13.8 gm.
