I have a chukar that I need to find a home for. I rescued him from somebody that raises them to sell to hunters and he was sick so I nursed him back to health but now I can’t keep him. I don’t want him to go to somebody that will eat him though. Only as a pet. If anyone is interested let me...
This seemed like the best place for this, but if there is a better one, Mods feel free to move it :)
I am looking to create a mixed poultry flock (for eggs, meat, and fat) for a (future) homestead, and I wanted to get first-hand experience and/or research tips from y'all on species and breeds...
What do you have / wish you had in your Bobwhite and chukar flight pens? Housing / roost recommendations, plants to grow, water and food systems, etc.
Currently own bobs, but chukars are still incubating (will be kept separate)
Looking for your ideas! Pens coming early may!
Located in South...
Hello BYC I’m a loooooong time lurker, first time making an account and posting because I never thought I would have a need. But here we are! So about one week and a few days ago, I found one lone (male I believe) Chukar roaming the streets of my very urban city. Completely out of place and...

Hi! So I was reading some threads about problems with crumble and problems with pellet feed.
Personally, I think it depends on the brand.
Please vote and type what feed brand you use.
Hey peeps,
I’m new to raising quail and I LOVE it! I’m learning a lot...and yet I still feel like I have a million questions.
Today’s question...can I raise chukar with my quail? Assuming the answer is no, due to chukar being too aggressive, what CAN I successfully raise with quail?
Thank you...
I'm hatching out some chukar eggs. I've read several posts about people who have chukar that free range, and coop at night. Some say they coop with their chickens, yes I'm aware that chickens and game birds have communicable diseases, that's not the part that I'm interested in. I would like to...
Why is this so difficult? Maybe someone here can see what sex my little birds are... Chukar #1 is the more petite one, the body and head are smaller but it has little bumps where spurs would be. Chukar #2 has a larger body... more block headed but zero spur bump... I asked the vet and they say...
I came home 3 days ago and a Red Legged Partridge was 'waiting' outside our duck pen. She had about 10 chicks with her. They were so tiny. I think they were hatched the same day. Then I left them alone. Today we came home to find her outside out back door and she all the chicks under her wings...
I saved some chukar partridges in January from a live meat market. I had no clue if I had boys or girls or ages... today I found a small egg! My question is, do I just them do their thing? Is it an egg that will hatch? She isn't sitting on the egg at all but again I have been checking and this...
I recently rescued four chukar partridges from a live meat market in Philadelphia and bought a nice coop and they have been living in it for about 6 days. Since they were from the meat market, when I got them, they were understandably scared and had no clue how to even raise thier heads as they...
Hello Everyone! I am completely new to keeping any backyard birds but I recently rescued four Chukar partridges from a live meat market I just happened to pass by. I quickly purchased a nice sized coop and put the little guys in there three days ago. I was told to first put the birds in the...

It took some research for me to find out the beautiful bird that's hanging around my property is a Chukar Partridge. My research also told me this bird is common in western US, but NOT western Pennsylvania. That caused me concern for its survivability in our winters. Then I find there is a...
I found a Chukar sitting on my porch. Beautiful Bird. I want to keep him healthy and happy. Not sure if I need or want to "cage" him or let him roam. I live in a neighborhood and believe he escaped from a hunting preserve.
