Garage wouldnt work for me cause mine is full of powertools has literally no open space... we dont even put our cars in there AHAH
And then keeping them in a box just seems cruel to me and wouldnt be fair to the rooster if i made its life miserable for my pleasure so i guess ill just have to...

Yeh ive been thinking about it and i would rather be safe then sorry .. guess im gonna have to bite the bullit and just make a pen for ducks and one for my pheasants hahaha dont know what the rest of the household thinks about it but theyll get over it... well actually they dont even know about...

Really? WOW that opens up all new doors
edited to add: well i bet their still illegal where im at cause im not even suppose to have chickens so i doubt that i could keep pheasants
and one thing i could never get a clear answer on during my research is do they make alot of noice ?
i was interested in the red golden pheasants for awhile but i gave up on those for now .. im gonna focus on expanding my flock to 12 and get the finches .. they seem quite interesting and its possible they can generate enough income to pay for themselves and my chickens who know ..
