    Pheasant eggs

    First pheasant chick. 10 more eggs in the incubator. The first 4 or 5 were not fertilized and this will be a staggered hatch as they were laid sporatically (may still get more). I ended up finding quail rails for my turner. Then I only installed 1/2 of them that way, when it is time to stop...

    Had an idea

    I wish I could claim that I have some secret method but I really just plant stuff and it grows. Maybe because I don't obsess and over water or over fertilize. Just let nature do the work and water if they look wilty.

    Gotta love Texas! Even in Colorado we would still be waiting. Of course in a couple weeks it will be too hot to go outside at all!

    Had an idea

    I googled it and most berries and even some flowering shrubs seemed OK. The are supposed to like "dense shrubs" so I looked at what was here at the local Lowes. I am in San Antonio, TX. Lots of privets and langustrum, but it seemed like the blueberries had the added benefit of berries. My...

    Not sure if anyonexis followingcso I am mostly posting for my own records. One of the girls was nestled down under one of the bushes for a good long time, clearly working on something. When she moved off a bit I went out kinda hoping to see an egg, instead there are 2 round depressions each...

    First, I have raised chickens in areas with predator and built coops that kept them all out, so.e details are still on this site. Second I have done other projects here, including raising a clutch of whistling duck chicks in an open pen. They were wild rescues and free to fly away when they got...

    Had an idea

    OK, not a chicken coop, but part of my temporary set up for golden pheasants. The aviary is an old dog run 10x10 that i wrapped in chicken wire. This is dense suburbia, no predators, and I have a 100 pound great pyrenese that discourages cats. Anyway, these guys are ground nester and like to...
