I know quail and chukar I raise them on wire. Do Hungarian Partridge need to be raised on wire or like pheasant you can raise them on soil.
Thanks

They will do better on wire and they aren't much different in there rearing than quail and chukar. They will do fine in an Avery if you are keeping them for that type of project. You will just have to treat for the disease they will contact on the ground. If you are going to raise them in volume then I would raise them on wire. They are great gamebirds and you will enjoy them very much..

Thanks Slider, Do Huns do well for hunt clubs like pheasant or better and what cover types hold huns to an area. We have a few places pheasant will stay for months until harvested Which game birds raised in the best situation will have the most fear of man or beast What are the pros and cons for releasing huns on hunting club land comparing to pheasant. I'm gearing this toward huntability as opposed to rearing cost. Though some insight in that area is fine to.

I have no experience in the Game Management Farms which release birds for paid hunting. I do know that they are used extensively for that purpose in many areas of the U.S. Maybe someone with Game Farm management experience can give you the answers you are looking for.

Huns in my experiance are very adaptable to to grain fields with brush or med. grass edges/crp fields. I still have Huns running around from early fall release around here and we have had a lot of snow. They are tough and wild and fly well if raised in flight pens. I raise all mine on a dirt floor flight pen 90 X 20 X12. The only complaint I have ever heard about Huns is they covey up so once you release them in singles or small groups they tend to gather up later in large coveys. People that have bought them for hunting release from me last year were very pleased with the quality of the flight of these birds ansd their wildness...puphood1

Around here, the few that are raised are used mostly for the novelty. Something a little different to keep customers returning.
On producer started them recently. He said one problem is that they must be stared on wire, because they will eat shavings. I have heard some say they don't take to feed as well, right after hatching.

Great, just wish they don't make only one huge covey during fall. Perhaps releasing some once a week will help keep them all from coveying at once during hunting season
