How much did you pay for adult birds, if I may ask? I ordered a bunch this year to raise to sell and eat. Years ago I did this and was getting $25/bird, this year i wanna try for 50-60 each…

Thank you so much Dave, this is precisely what I was hoping for. I just got home from work and this video was waiting for me. I hope you will follow your current hatch and show us more. If my preliminary research convinces me to give Chukars a try, I think I will be interested in setting up my own breeding program. I'm interested in what is considered a proper hen to cock ratio and also when and how they are sexed. Keep the information coming, I think this may be an untapped KZbin niche which you are able to fill.

@@cassidyallengar Raising them is pretty much like raising jumbo quail, except incubation period is slightly longer and once out of the brooder box and in their cage they need a place to hide. But other than that all of the info out their on raising quail is the same.

My chukars were raised with ducks. Thy follow these ducks everywhere. They really have no Fear of me. They don't want me real close but I get within 5 feet of them. You just don't want to spook them. They'll hang around your property. If they get out They'll come back in the evening. Using a headlamp you can recatch them. Quail traps work to. There an awesum bird with a great song. Boy can they fly though.

VENT SEXING IN CHUKAR PARTRIDGES Sexes of chukar partridges (Alectoris chukar), and other species of partridge, are difficult to distinguish because the sexes often have similar plumage. A method for determining the sex of day-old chukars was described by Siopes and Wilson (1973) based on a modified vent-sexing technique commonly used for domestic poultry (Komatsu 1935). According to Siopes and Wilson, sex determination is based on the shape of genital protuberance (Fig. 16-4). In males, the protuberance is large and either cone or heart shaped. In females, the protuberance is absent or is small and flat. The technique of cloacal sexing involves placing the head or neck between the index and middle finger, and placing the thumb on the lower abdomen. Then, apply gentle pressure with the thumb of the holding hand to evert the cloaca and expel fecal matter. After the cloaca is slightly everted, the small genital protuberance on the neutral rim of the vent is examined under a bright light. Manipulation of this area with the thumb and index finger of the free hand provides an optimum view for accurately determining sex. This technique requires much practice before a high level of accuracy can be expected.

my chukars poop has been well watery and dark brown lately? I have an antibiotic on hand, also what should I do about probiotics that don't break the bank?
@theemergencyprepguy2 жыл бұрын
I have had birds that have had that for a day or two, but never for any extended length of time. For mine it seemed to be caused by stress or a leafy vegetable I had given them as a treat. If yours is having it more than a few days and you think he has some bacteria causing the issue, I have never had to deal with that. I would suggest Googling the topic. A lot of people have birds and I am sure there must be information out their on bird diarrhea and its possible causes. I have never had a reason to give my birds probiotics so I wouldn't know on that account either. Sorry I'm not much help.
