    Recommendations for Chukar Partridge Feed?

    My Chukars have been on Purina maint. for a year and are doing very well. They love almonds as a treat, chopped up to a size they can deal with, and for more protein they get some dried mealworms each day.

    HI! Help! I found a Chukar!

Have space for her, half a garage, 18 x 15 x 8 ft high enclosure and a large low-ish grass enclosure. Dug around and figured out food. Since these are such social birds should I...
