Pictures of Pheasant Housing/Run

We use alot of different pens.



8 x 16 pens, used for various pheasant species.




double row (back to back) of 8 x 16 pens with 8 x 8 pens on this end for specific breeding pairs.



Round pens, used mainly for our rarer and tropical type pheasants. We have a bunch of these pens, but I don't have a good photo.



10 x 20 pens used for various ornamental pheasants.



10 x 20 inside



48 ringneck breeder pens each 8 x 16. Can't see it in this photo- but the far end of these pens have a  roof over the back 5 feet for shelter and shade. I have not got this half done yet.

nice set up!

We do have issues with predators.

Owls were killing some pheasants thru the netting on top- taking them off the roost- so we lowered the roosts. OR most pens now have a roof over were the roosts are.

Mink got in and killed a few, but they have done alot more damage in the duck pens- seems the mink prefer ducks or geese (smaller wild types) if they have a chance to get either.

We are in the process of selling out almost all our Ringneck pheasants and cutting back on the others too. This is what we had going into breeding season 2009:

Somebodyelse must have photos of pens???????

I will here in a day or two Randy I must say I wish I lived closer so I could come by and visit sometime. Your pens.....place...and birds are beautiful! I don't think I could ever manage soo much and keep everything looking as good as you do. Love the Ornamental pens!

Here is a photo of how we have roof over some of the 8 x 16 pens. The roof provides shade, protection from owls while on the roost & a dry spot to roost in the rain.



If the birds don't eat all the vegitation, it can also provide cover and shade.
