I have been getting set up to raise game birds. I currently own a quad of Arctic Snow pheasants (color variation on ringnecks) and also some chukars and pigeons. Most of these birds I acquired to train my bird dog, but now I would like to start breeding birds again (I think once you have the bug you always have it. It's an addiction.)
Can anyone give me some advice on the ease of hatching and brooding some of the game birds? Bear in mind that I've had a lot of experience incubating and hatching chicken and coturnix eggs so I'm not necessarily a beginner. Birds that are on my list for consideration are:
Ringneck Pheasant (any of the color varieties)
Chukar Partridge
Hungarian Partridge
Bobwhite Quail
Coturnix Quail (I have raised and bred these in the past with a lot of success)
I am interested finding out how they compare to each other as far as ease of breeding, number of eggs produced, survivability rate, etc.
Good to see you all here! Thanks in advance for any info you can give me!
