Hello!
I’m interested in getting into Chukars, however I have chickens who free range when I’m home.
I’ve read that they are susceptible to disease the chickens may carry. I live on a small acreage and would have the main bird enclosures separated. However, when my chickens free range they venture all over. Would that be a problem with the chickens being near the Chukar enclosure?
Also, for those who may raise both chickens and game birds… what precautions do you take going from one enclosure to the other for daily feeding & cleaning duties? In other words, would I need a completely different set of shoes, gloves, cleaning supplies and/or other tools. I am unfamiliar on what diseases these may be and how and/or how easily it can spread.
Thanks for any insight!
