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.

 

1/2" X 1/2" wire for the bottom is better then 1/2" X 1 " for young chukars . For some reason quail do well on the 1 X 1/2 but chukars do not.

 

if your ground is wet where you are blackhead can be a problem I live almost in a marsh is why mine are on wire I have a breeder 30-40 miles from me keeps them on the ground with pigeons and cali quail in the same aviary

 

i have mine on the ground and they have no problems i even got babies this year.

 

I would not keep anything in with pigeons.Those birds are nasty and always have issues.
