Is this a different strain from central asia or a hybrid, I see some gray partridge traits. 
Also, I see cracked corn, are you able to balance your diets with local stuff?  Many things available and the feed store prices are steep.

Its a Barbary Chukar (A.barbara).  They are from North Africa versus the Pakistan area where our Normal Chuckar resides.

I feed a mixed diet.  Their big treat is a shot of cracked corn.  Good energy for winter.  I don't think they are as tough as our Chukar, but their call is essentially the same.  They are a tad bit smaller.

VERY COOL! Where did you get it? My bro-inlaw has some un used pheasant pens we want to fill up... Have to find the holes tho... I got some quail for him and in 24 hrs they got out!  :bash: holes must be pretty small...

Doesn't take much for a quail to get in or out of your pens.   I got him out of the midwest.  I should have hatching eggs this year.  I won't have any adults.

I'll try to get some pics with their "hood" up.   That center stripe raises up when they are on alert.
