Seesee Partridge ~ There was no record of this species being 
raised in captivity until Oklahoma succeeded in 1960. In 1963, this 
State and Utah produced 107 birds. Egg fertility was fairly good; 
chick survival excellent. Egg production has been low but is improving. 
Turkish Chukar Partridge - Large numbers of this species have been 
reared by New Mexico since 1959. In 1963, 2 States raised 1693 birds. 
Greek Chukar Partridge - From wild stock, recently secured, Cali- 
fornia reared 183 individuals. 
Barbary Partridge - California, the only State working with this 
species, produced 1254 birds in 1963. The record indicates that no 
particular problems were encountered. Brood stock was secured from 
private game farms. 
Common Indian and Imperial Sandgrouse - Utah has been experimenting 
with a few of each species since 1961, Only one egg has been produced to 
date. 
Red Junglefowl - In an attempt to locate a woodland species poten- 
tially adaptable to the Southeast, 9 States, currently working with this 
species, reared 1416 birds. Junglefowl seemingly adapt well to captivity 
and are easy to propagate in numbers, 
Western Iranian Pheasant ~ Both this and the eastern Iranian 
pheasant reproduce well in captivity. When crossed with the northern 
ringneck, production is markedly increased. This year 6 States reared 
1960 pure strain birds and 4602 crosses. No special techniques are 
required, 
astern Iranian Pheasant ~ The fact that this subspecies is some- 
what easier to propagate than is its western relative has encouraged 
its rearing by many States. In the current year 4 States produced 2512 
pure strain birds; 6 raised 2667 individuals that were crossed with the 
northern ringneck, 
Japanese Green Pheasant - This subspecies adapts itself very well 
to propagation in captivity. No problems were reported by 5 States in 
producing 2619 birds this year. That it crosses easily with the 
northern ringneck in captivity was demonstrated by the production of 1236 
such hybrids by Tennessee in 1963. They also found evidence that this 
subspecies may breed 2 to 3 weeks later in captivity than does the 
ringneck, 
Korean Ringneck Pheasant ~- First produced in fair numbers in 
Missouri and Pennsylvania in 1962. Four northern States reared 3522 
birds this year thus providing numbers adequate for more substantial 
trials in 1963. No difficulty in propagation indicated,
