Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! Life's been busy...two of my new hens turned out to have bumblefoot, and I'm trying to figure out what to do/get up the courage to take care of it! The pheasant is still here nearly all of the time. He has been eating the duck food I put out for him, and...

You're right, that would be awful! I haven't really been trying to tame him, per se, (except for leaving food out for him...) but he has been getting more comfortable around us. Still scared if we move toward him, but a huge difference from most wild pheasants. He's been hanging around our...

Thanks for letting me know! The hens really do seem to like him, so I could see that happening. Hopefully, they like their food too much to stray far! :) I was just out putting the chickens to bed, and Mr. Pheasant was there as usual. I stayed out with my camera to try and catch another...

He sure is!! I imagine some "phickens" would look so cute...his colorful feathers mixed with their white ones, it would be adorable. If only that could work!

I think they are! And I'll bet he's never seen a snowy-white pheasant hen! He's probably starstruck, lol.

That sounds so sweet! I'm sorry to hear about poor Button. I'd love to be able to tame "Mr. Pheasant" to that extent! I just don't know how it would work, though, if he started cozying up to the hens too much...Rocky (the rooster) might get jealous. I guess we'll see!

Maybe he is, that would be interesting! I live in Canada, so I'm not sure if I have a "state thread". Is that something on BYC? Maybe there's a provincial thread. I could try and find a game farm, and maybe I will. I'm not sure why he chose my chickens, though, as I've seen a few pheasant...

I just went out there, and snapped a picture as quickly as I could before he was too far away. I apologize for the poor quality! ..But, if you'd like to get an idea of what he looks like, this guy is pretty much identical: Kinda funny-looking and beautiful at the same time! :)

I'll try! Although every time he sees me, he goes running in the other direction. He has slowed down a bit though, maybe he's slowly getting more comfortable with my presence. I'll do my best and see what I can get! :)

For the past few days, the pheasant has been hanging around their run without a break. Every time I look out, he's in the woods right beside them (the run is backed up into the forest), and they're just inches apart. Yesterday, I even noticed that while Rocky, my rooster, was on one side of...

Haha, I was wondering that myself. It does make sense! He could easily fly over our fence, but I think he's keeping a distance due to Mr. rooster, who watches him pretty closely! I googled what would happen if they were to cross-breed, but it seems like most "phickens" die pretty early...

Hi! I brought 6 hens and a rooster home the day before yesterday, and they're settling in wonderfully. But the funny thing is, this wild ring-necked pheasant has been hanging around their pen 24/7 since they arrived. He walks right up to the fence, and looks straight at the rooster! And the...
