    Wormers for pheasants

    Sorry for my belated reply, but I do appreciate your response. It is very traumatic to all concerned to capture my birds for dosing. I was hoping for instructions on how to dose via replacement water. Anybody got any suggestions?

    Air Cell Problem - Help Please!

    I have a current set containing 4 Reeves and 4 Swinhoes. The Reeves are 16 days in and the Swinhoe 14. I haven't been paying attention to air cell size since I have automated everything (yeah, I know...) I've been keeping the humidity set st about 56 RH as I've read, with the temp averaging...

    Wormers for pheasants

    I have purchased concentrated Valbendazle to worm my pheasants. What dilution would I use in replacement water, and how often? Thanks, Tim

    Problems with pecking pheasants

    I have an outdoor aviary of around 180 square feet in which I have been keeping a mix of 7 pheasants. Males: Yellow, Hybrid, Elliott, Red, Amherst. Females: Yellow, Amherst. They are entering their third year together and only now the Amherst (the only one I hand raised) has gotten really...

    Mandarin Duck thread ( for posting pictures and discussing)

    Recomachi, thanks for the input. Will it make much difference if I go to the trouble to try to get them to "imprint" on me and hand raise them? With my pheasants, the only somewhat tame one is the one I did that with. The others, except for a male Elliot, will eat out of my hand, but won't let...

    One more thing. I would really like my pair of Mandies to be as take as they can be given their wild origins. As I mentioned, I currently keep ornamental pheasants including Alex, who I hatched from an eBay egg. I had to help him out of his shell and handled and spoke to him at least once a day...

    Mandarin Duck thread ( for posting pictures and discussing)

    Given that I haven't received any replies to my post of a couple of weeks ago, I'm going to make the assumption that folks don't see major problems with my plans to add a couple of Mandies to my mix. Given that, I guess I'll move on to matters of accommodating them. Since I plan to have a male...

    I'm working on getting ready for a pair of Mandarins this spring. I'm planning on housing them in an existing aviary I'll expand and modify for them. I am told they will get along with my Amherst and Red Golden pheasants. The finished aviary will be 10'x24'x8-9' high with a 50 gallon pre-formed...

    How do you regulate humidity?

    I can't speak to what specific humidity is appropriate for any particular species, however, I can say with some confidence that automating the humidity level in addition to the temperature certainly makes things easier. I cobbled together a "personal" sized ultrasonic humidifier with an humidity...
