My wife has come up with an idea. She wants to cross our white crested polish rooster with our naked neck hen. It sounds like some wild kind of mix. Has anybody ever tried to cross a crested chicken with a naked neck?
I just got a trio of ringnecks this past weekend. Wow, they are beautiful birds. I have always wanted some since I was a little boy. I'm like a kid with a new toy.
Are there different types of ringneck pheasants? I've seen some that seem to have dark breasts and some with light breasts. Is this just normal variations in a species or is it different types of ringnecks? Any pictures would be great.
Is it ok to put 3 ringneck pheasants and a wood duck in the same pen? It is a fairly large pen with plenty of space for them. I just didn't know how they would act towards each other. I am really curious because I dont have a large enough pen at the moment for the pheasant.
We just got two wood ducks and we are needing some info. What kind of food can I feed them and do they need a perch to sleep on? If so, what should the perch be (platform or regular chicken style perch)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
If you are talking about my Jazzy, thanks. She is such a sweet little bird. She was hatched with a blue sizzle and they have been the best of friends since day one. It is funny to see them always hanging out together.
Thank you very much for the kind words. We really love our sussexes. It's funny about the redhead and freckles comment. We named several of them based on that. The roosters name is Scutt, from the movie A Christmas story (the bully). We named one of the hens Annie from Little Orphan Annie...
8+ Speckled Sussex hatching eggs. These are beautiful birds. We have a very good rooster to hen ratio so we have a high fertility rate. It is one rooster per three hens. I am getting a good amount of eggs so I will have more to sell if anybody wants to buy more.
12+ Frizzle Bantam Cochin hatching eggs. The two roosters are frizzled and are absolutely beautiful. The roosters are black with some lighter tipping. All of the hens are black except for a buff hen with some black tipping. They are all beautiful birds and very docile. They have great...
We absolutely love our speckled girls and would like a few more to add to the flock. They are wonderful, beautiful birds. Jeslewmazer, where in Mississippi do you live? I actually drive through Mississippi every week. You have beautiful birds. We would be happy with two. Thanks for the...
This is Scutt with his girls Freckles, Annie and Sally in the background. I try to get better pics of the girls but when I get near, they come running. Right under my feet.
