    chukar eggs update

    after the unfortunate passing of hedwig the chukar after only a couple hours of hatching, i placed the remaining eggs in the incubator- none fertile. We contacted the seller who sent us 6 eggs free of charge. They arrived, all with saddled air cells (rather bad ones too), one with an entirely...

    is my chick going to be alright?

    I do have 4, all saddled air cells. Rather luckily partridge eggs seem to withhold very well to storage according to some university papers, 66% hatch rate after 22-28 days

    is my chick going to be alright?

    assisted hatch was a success!! he's pretty healthy, moving around and chirping... and sleeping. I ended up removing the membrane shortly after. There was some blood, but nothing dripping and bleeding. Yolk was fully absorbed and a bit of coagulated blood was at the shell bottom. The umbilical...

    will a saddled air cell effect the hatch rate?

    hey all! I ordered some chukar eggs (6+2). only one of these chukar eggs had a completely normal air cell while the rest had saddled air cells. I am only looking to hatch one chukar, so I only put two eggs (the one with the normal air cell and the smallest saddled air cell). Im using the...

    Chukar taming from chicks?

    hey all! I'll be getting some chukar eggs soon as a pet. They're a really popular pet in Pakistan (where my parents hail from,) and I thought they looked gorgeous so id love to keep one myself.
