When raising gray partridge, these can all from be a little bit tricky. It takes quarter while for them to get started on the food and to learn what to eat. Being a bird, that would normally be after insect food and such like the idea of eating pellets sometimes doesn't come naturally to them.

So, there are a lot of tricks involved in getting them to eat the pellet, to be attracted to that sort of food. Believe it or not, hundreds and thousands of, you got icing on top of the cake, all the little colors, put that in the chick Crum, and it just stimulates them to pick. Or sometimes put a red-legged partridge, or few red-legged partridge in to their graze and they will eat and they will stimulate the gray partridge attracted to the food, once they are often running on and actually eat right sort of food, mostly your problems are over.

The husbandry has to be very very good, but they do need to be kept clean and dry. They don't really appreciate getting rained upon, so a rearing pant is fully roofed to be ideal unless you got time to get in and out if you dig heavy when they are quite young. As long as you keep the place really clean, then you don't have problems with disease or bugs.

Good husbandry is essential with these. If you are breeding the gray partridge, these kinds should be kept in pairs, bred in pairs, a pant, something like that would be ideal for eight pairs of grey partridge. Shelter, food, water, probably little bit of cover in there as well, if you could move the pant regularly on to fresh ground that hasn't previously had birds on it, move it every day, every other day or something, that is more than a bonus because the partridge will pick up a lot of bugs, grass, seeds of the ground of their eating.

These are all a good addition to their diet, keeps them fitter, keeps them healthier and such like; I recommend the eggs are picked up daily and stop breakages. If they break, then they can get an attraction to eating the eggs and you might get egg-eaters and then they have a problem. Collect the eggs daily.

Keep them fresh before you turn them every day. An incubator about a week is probably maximum I would run them before I put them in an incubator. And that's how to raise and breed a gray partridge. .
