Pigeon addict Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hi all, I know it’s a bit late in the day but I’m hoping to release some grey partridge ASAP. Haven’t had any luck thus far in finding day olds or even eggs so I’m having a last attempt on this forum. If anyone can give me a contact in the DORSET area that would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

old'un Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Getting a bit late in the season now for eggs or chicks, but you could try phoning a few game farms to see if they have any growers left, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Neal Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 You've missed the boat for this season really, anything that was available would likely have been accounted for some time ago. I presume you don't want these for shooting this coming season? Maybe to re-stock and boost the wild breeding population? If you got day olds some time next week they'd not be viable to shoot until nearly Christmas! If you're trying to re-introduce greys or bolster up the wild population with a hope of generating a sustainable amount to shoot, can I urge you to get some info from the GWCT regarding the subject first? It may not be as simplistic as you'd first think, and it may indeed be counter-productive, or at least fruitless, to introduce captive-bred birds.
