mattslaptop247 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I work in a meduim secure hospital. It has a 16ft fence around it. We oftern have a pair of partridge fly in and out first thing in a morning. Well today I saw one of them with 14 chicks!! Is that an extremley large brood? She must have had a nest secreted away in the boundaries of the fence. I'm hoping our fence will keep out most of the predators, except any raptors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proTOM1 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Its a good brood but have seen alot bigger ,is it a french patridge or english ? if its english they will stand a better chance as they look after there young unlike the french . Watched a french patridge last year with 11 young crossing a road she got to the other side first and in staed of calling them across she just carried on i follwed her and she just kept on walking leaving her young to there fait ,which in to end was man in car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
