will chukars go broody

[zebserema]

I am hatching chukars and was wanting to set them free once they are old enough will they hatch their own eggs or would I half to find the nest and use an incubator thanks sorry if this is a stupid question

 

[zebserema]

anyone?

If you set them free they will probably be eaten long before they get a chance to lay any eggs. I believe it is also illegal to release gamebirds (chukars are gamebirds) without a permit in any state.

its not illegal where i live i checked but if i kept the chukars in a pen or coop and left their eggs would they go broody?

 

[shelleyd2008]

If you have a natural setting for them with lots of hides I would think at least some of them would.
