They are quite commonly & easily kept/bred in captivity, second to the Chukar. 

gbwf.org species page - http://www.gbwf.org/francolin/perdix.html

What kind of tips are you looking for?

Hello Dan

I want to know how to raise them.  I have Bobwhite quails and Wild turkeys, But it seems that the Hungarian partridges are very different. 
Is there something special I should know about these birds, before I start.

Thank you

Denise

Hi Denise,

No real special requirements different from your Bobwhite, but will require more space and a planted, ground aviary suits them best.  Males can be a little nasty at times, best to house just one per aviary.  Otherwise, easy game birds to care for.

I'm having a problem with the Hungarian partridge I am raising they are full grown and are in a 15'x30' pen with dirt floor. I'm lossing around 6 a day and the ones that seem to be sick are laying down and seem to be having trouble walking and thin in the breast. I feed Nutrena gamebird starter and have kept up on there vitamins and worming. Don't really know what to do??

I recommend to take one of the dead birds to get a necropsy done as soon as possible.  Many university extensions can help you out with it or find a vet that would be willing.  Might cost around $50 bucks, but would be worth it to get the exact cause and treatment/prevention.  I'm no vet, so will not give any medication suggestions or any hypothetical diagnosis what the illness could be.  What state are you in or metro area are you close to?
