We have been losing from 5-10 chicks a day now. The chicks hatched from mid summer to the beginning of September, none of our older girls/boys are dying. We had a frozen water situation about two days ago, where the heaters didn't work, so we thought they had been dehydrated. But after we fixed...
Going to be getting some pheasant hatching eggs once they come into season. Curious on how many I should get if I get Yellow golden or lady amherst. A trio or a pair? Also, would I be able to keep a few pairs together if kept in a large enough area?

I am planning on building an aviary for my ducks and think it would be neat to have some pigeons in there too. It will be 12' by 12' and 6 feet tall. there will be a 6' by 6' pool in there that will have to be their main source of water. Would they drink out of that?
Also, Can ducks and...
