Ok, so it is my understanding that pheasants do not free range well at all and except for rare cases they will go wild or die...but there are rare cases...so why cant we begin to breed the wild out of them??? most of our current domesticated pets were once wild and now are quite tame...with...

My babies arrived! two days ago for 23 total chirping babies:) I had them in a box in the spare room for the last few days...The Marans (cuckoo) seemed to be the hardiest, followed by the Sussex (speckled) and then the fluffy Easter eagers (a few had pasty butts which I cleaned) with the silver...
I have a broody hen...the eggs are/were due to hatch this comming Tuesday....but today when I went to check on her she was in the wrong nest box! her eggs felt cold and the break fest eggs were warm as could be :( is there any chance they might still hatch...I put her back on the correct...
