try a search for Chukars and/or game bird farms. lots of them are offering game bird eggs. A friend started his with shipped in eggs. egg bid usually has lots towards spring.

Try McMurrayHatchery.com We order our peeps from them every two years. They've been in business quite awhile, service is great and birds arrive in excellent condition. Both live birds and eggs are available. For live birds there are minimum shipping quantities; for chukar it is quantities of 35 or 70. As of 2007 catalog, 35 Chukar are $136.85 Since chukar are game birds, you need to check with your State's Dept of Game & Inland Fisheries (or whatever your regulatory agency is called) as a permit may be needed to own these birds.

Also available from McMurray are banties, reg. chickens, ducks, peafowl turkey, pheasant, quail, bobwhites, geese and guineas.

Strombergs has Chukars as well. Sold out at the moment but that will change late winter. Below's a link:

And here's the link to McMurray's chukars eggs:

Both companies offer day old chicks and McMurray has a package they call the "Sportsmans Gamebird Special" which gets you 60 ringnecks, 30 melanistic (dark green) pheasants, and 30 chukars.... all for $241.20

I think that includes shipping and seems like a great deal. As soon as I build on my acreage, I'll be ordering that package. My understanding is that you raise the chicks 14 weeks and then turn them loose. I have heard some people release their birds as young as 10 weeks.
