Jarvis 277 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Would love to get some English partridge eggs to slip under a few Broodies, don't see enough of them around here. Alright Rob, I got some Englishmen this year and hatched them out. Got them penned up at the shoot at the moment, my plan is to tear some each year and release them, not to shoot but just to encourage them to breed on the wild. Big fine for the guns if they shoot any If I get some buy in some fertile eggs next year I'll let you know and I might be able to get you some if you like? I've only got 24 but if I release those sort of numbers each year I should get a thriving population 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
