For young birds of the Chinese bamboo partridge (Bambusicola thoracicus).

Silver chukar partridge chicks (Alectoris chukar)
The birds above pictured are the first “living” chicks born in my aviaries of the magnificent “silver” mutation of the Chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar).
During the breeding season 2019, I had one fertile egg, but the chick unfortunately never comes out the eggshell and died inside …
These seem to be quite strong and healthy!
Enjoy the pictures …
Chukar partridges chicks, wild vs recessive white, May 2020
“Celadon” chicks of the Japanese quail again in 2020!
Other freshly hatched chicks of pure wild Chinese painted quail, May 2020.
Ten days old chicks of Chinese bamboo partridge, May 2020
Day old chicks of “Fallow” Chinese painted quail, born on may, 2020.
These two chicks are born on May 22st, 2020.
It is difficult to predict the final colour they will have, but for sure, they will be both Fallow: bright pink eyes don’t deceive.
In my opinion, the clearest one should become US red-breasted silver Fallow and the other one a Brown Tuxedo Fallow.
More pictures of them will be added in the coming days!
