Quails - a small species of game bird - are mostly found in temperate areas. However, with the right management they can be a good source of food and income for farmers in tropical regions. Their eggs, in particular, can fetch good prices, and quails are not prone to some of the diseases that can devastate other poultry flocks. They also need less space, being much smaller than chickens. Belinda Tabenyang, an agricultural technician from Yaoundé, Cameroon, recently went into quail farming and is making a success of it. She explains how she got started.
