    Whats it like raising Chukar Partridges???

    Feeding chicks veggies?

    I don't know about veggie scraps, but I feed finely chopped greens beginning first few days... I'm a believer in adding natural component to diet of quail and pheasant chicks, even though most commercial feeds (of the right type) should satisfy their nutritiona requirements...
