Re: Can a Chukar live with chickens or pigeons? I really would appreciate any advice!
I have chukar and pigeons together with no issues. Have done this for a couple of years. I also have big pens with lots of room. 12 x 12 with 6 chukar and the rest pigeons. I have roosts for the pigeons up high and rocks piled for the chukar so there are no space battles for roosting.- bbqsfarm

Comment made to me at feed store about feeding medicated feed is it true?
I went to get feed and all they had at this feed store was a medicated turkey feed. I was looking for non medicated. He told me if you feed and medicated feed you can not eat the birds. Is that a true statement? I am on my second year with birds and my second hatch still have so much to learn. -
