Chukars are just one type of partridge.

Partridge are part of the family PERDICINAE, which includes partridges, snowcocks, francolins and old world quails. There are about 100 species in this family.

Chukars are probably the most commonly kept, followed by Hungarians (Grey partridge).

In captivity there have been new color mutations developed in Chukars- Albino and Red.

We used to raise:

Chukar
Albino Chukar
Red Chukar
Hungarian
Barbary
French Red Leg
Philby and mutation Silver Philby
Chinese Bamboo

we still raise Roul Roul partridge.

There are some really cool types of Hill partridge and wood partridge that unfornately are not avialable in the US.

So now that you dont raise the hungarian partrige, where can I get some of them?

If you google hungarian partridge for sale you can usually find a breeder or some eggs for sale. I have seen eggs listed on eggbid. Good luck.
Chukar are the most common partridge because they are easy to raise and have been released into the wild for quite awhile, even having a hunting season in quite a few states.
