    chukar still laying.

    I still can believe my chukars are still laying. I know there not fertile. Hope they stop soon. I don't know what to do with all this eggs. I tired feeding them back to them, but it seems a lot to give them. Hopefully with cold front they'll stop. Temp is going to drop to low 60's for highs. You...

    Chukar eggs and a few questions....

    If you ever make it out to Vegas, I have a few young chukars. I know it's a way from No. Cali. I think have 1 male and 2 females. There about 4 weeks old. Might be a bit old for your lil chick.

    Can Chukers Fly?

    Sure you could cut chukar wings, it's not recomended by most. They'll still grow new feathers every year. I would only cut them if they where in a secured area away from predators. I just believe upland game birds wing's shouldn't.

    My cute Lil lone Chukar!!!!

    Sexing new born chicks is pretty easy. Males have a more round head bigger. Females thinner, longer head. I know it tough to tell without any other chicks. I usually wait about 2 to 4 weeks before I give them anything else to eat like mealworms. Just keep it on gamestarter for atleast 6 weeks...

    My cute Lil lone Chukar!!!!

    he look like a she. I had a few where only hatches or others don't make it. She'll be fine to be raised alone. I had one we raised that way, now he wants to be inside with us, and loves to be handled. Pretty neat how people inprint on them. But am sure that'll change when he has his hens.

    Can Chukers Fly?

    It depends. They usually fly short distances. But in the wild I have seen them head up high then glide down the hill easly 1000 yrds. Makes hunting them a pain. They do flush a lot like quail. There wing feathers are a lot like quail not made to fly to far.

    how do i sex chukar?

    Males have a bigger head, more round. Females have longer skinner head. I couldn't find a good pic. Female far back center. 2-Males right. I think the one with the head down is a female. hard to tell. I thought I had better pics.

    Males are little over a pound to 1.5lbs. Maybe as much as 2lbs. females about 1 lbs.

    chukar cage requirements

    The bigger the better. I would do something like 6'x12'. They should only be on the ground if you live in a dry climate or have a roof over the pen. I house 1 male to 3 females in 6'x6' pens. This gives them room to run around and drag there wing on the ground for there display.

    Anyone have Valley Quail?

    Do any of you have Valley quail chicks? I just hatch a small batch and ended up with all males except one. so was hoping to buy some eggs or 3 hens chicks. I know it's late for eggs and maybe way to hot to ship live chicks. Maybe some can save me a few hens and ship this fall? Thanks Dom

    Valley and Gamble pen??

    Yeah I figured it be small. I am just so limited in my yard. I like your idea JJMR794.. I just need to figure out a tray for top level, So the bottom birds don't get poop on there heads. I might lower it a foot closer to the ground. I don't want it to be above cmu wall. I'll revise the drawing...
