I am going to getting Valleys, Scaled, Mexican Speckled and Northern Bobwhite this year. I have pens designed for them that are 3.5 ft by 2 ft and 2 ft tall. Does this look like a good size for them? They will all be in pairs. Any suggestions for furnishings? Thanks in advance. Kramer
I am designing some new breeding pens for my Chukars. They are 3.5 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft tall. What do you think? Does anyone know about breeding Barbarys and Hungarians and their cage sizes? I will be getting the latter 2 in the fall, but have the Chukars now. I am breeding them in pairs. All...
I just got some new coturnix today, and as I was moving them to there new cage, one hen started flapping around in my hands and died! We think she had a heart attack under the stress of moving, but even that seems odd. I have never heard of this happening before and it was a strange and...
Hi. I have a 2 year old male silver pheasant. Lately he has not been eating and is lethargic. I am able to pick him up without much struggling which is not normal for him. He also has yellowy green liquid in his feces which I have not seen before. Can anyone help me find out what is wrong with...

Hi everyone,
I have some light brown leghorns now, and have seen some for sale ads for locally for dark and danish brown leghorns. I know the difference between the dark and light rowns, but I am not sure of the difference between danish and light. Can anyone help me tell the differene? Do you...
Hi. I have the opportunity to buy 2 hens for my male Silver Pheasant. I have a concern though. My male has crooked toes. Do you think he would actually mate with the hens? I have a Leghorn rooster with crooked toes and he does not mate with his hens, and he is of breeding age. I don't want tp...
Hi. I am looking into getting Mandarin and Wood Ducks. I plan on keeping them in an aviary with IB peafowl, Bahama Pintail Ducks and some pheasants. Will the Mandarins and Woodies cross? I would like to only have to build the one aviary and keep them together, but don't want crosses. Thanks.
Hi everyoone. I am pretty sure this is in the right place as junglefowl are a type of pheasant right? Correct me if I'm wrong. Has anyone ever gotten Red Junglefowl from Ideal Poultry? I am not a big fan of hatcheries like Ideal, but they are the only place I have seen Red Junglefowl for sale...
So, what is your favorite pheasant species and mutation and why? I really love Blue-eareds because of their apperance and my friend has a cock that is super friendly. What about you?

I saw this coturnix on another forum and now have 7 with this color. They breed true and seem to pop up in hatches of golden and pharoahs. Anyone know what it might be? quaillady? Do I have a new color on my hands? I hope so:P

Hi.
I am looking into getting a flock of production laying hens, Red Rocks. I know birds slow down with age, but what can I expect in terms of production some older girls? I just don't want to have to replace the ladies every year if they give me 3 eggs a week. If they slow down alot, what are...
