Abstract :In this study, the distributions of egg count (daily and cumulative), width, length and weight values of chukar partridges obtained in two different egg production seasons were statistically modeled. For this purpose, in modeling cumulative egg production curves; Logistic, Gompertz, Gamma, Schunute, Brody, Richard, Negative Exponential, Von Bertalanffy, Cubic Piecewise and Cubic models were used, and in evaluating daily egg production curves; Gompertz, Logistic, Richard, McNally, Gamma, Cubic Piecewise, Quadratic, Quadratic Piecewise and Modified Compartmental models were used. In modeling egg width values; Gompertz, Gamma, Cubic Piecewise and Cubic models were used, in modeling length values; Logistic, Gamma, Cubic Piecewise and Cubic models were used, and in modeling weight values; McNally, Gamma, Cubic Piecewise and Cubic models were used. In all modeling studies, as comparison and evaluation criteria; Error Mean Square, Corrected Coefficient of Determination, Accuracy Factor, Bias Factor, Durbin-Watson, Akaike Information Criterion, Corrected Akaike Information Criterion and Bayesian Information Criterion were taken into consideration. As a result of the study; Gamma was determined as the most suitable model for modeling cumulative egg yields and length values, McNally for modeling daily egg yields and weight values, and Gompertz and Gamma models for modeling egg width values.
