burnie69 376 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 chukka's were banned.They said they wern't a pure breed just a hybred made up for shooting. The best way of telling they have a yellow shade to em as a chick and the barring on the wing in single. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
