I have ranked poultry by noise level according to information I could find. Do you agree? Feel free to post your own rankings.
1. Chickens (Rooster crows are really loud)
2. Geese Eastern Eurasia derived (Africans are loud and super Africans even more so)
3. Guineafowl
4. Turkeys

Hello everybirdie,
so I know that quails are impressionable at birth, and if are not handled in their first week often they won’t be human-friendly. But are pheasants the same way?
i’m getting a house golden pheasant, but I’ve ordered a roughly two month old one. Will he be able to be tamed...
I recently started a small family owned hatchery in Southern California. Right now I’m selling all the popular egg laying chickens and Coturnix quail. The quail in particular have been very profitable due to how quickly they grow start laying eggs.
I recently saw some pheasants in person for...
Hi! So I was reading some threads about problems with crumble and problems with pellet feed.
Personally, I think it depends on the brand.
Please vote and type what feed brand you use.
Help my pheasant has swollen shut eyes. There was nothing wrong with her until yesterday they were pretty swollen yesterday but not enough to make your eyes stay shut but today she can't even open her eyes or see me please I need help and I'm not sure what to do at all
Hello all,
yesterday we had five pheasant babies hatch. The first four were strong, healthy, and active. The fifth one had a hard time getting out of his shell because his beak seemed deformed. My father helped him out (I know I know you’re not supposed to do that) but he seemed strong...
Hello, I have ordered Ringneck pheasant eggs and going to incubate them in my cheap incubator so I could imprint and get them tame(ish). I am in the state of Rhode Island and need to know if I need a licence to legally keep these birds for pets, even if I don't breed them? I have read the pages...
Hi, I’m new here. We have been incubating Lady Amherst pheasant eggs, and yesterday five hatched. Today, the last hatched. We had to help it because it made very little progress on its own after many hours. When it hatched, we noticed one of its legs was orientated weird. It won’t sit right, and...
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this is I am harvesting my some of my male melanistic Mutant pheasants and when I pulled out the intestines I noticed yellow lumps all over the bowels. Not sure what it is or if birds are even edible. I know picture is kind of gory but I just don't...
So,
I'm getting into pheasantry, and have been reading up on the legalities of possessing, propogating, and trading/ selling pecies listed as threatened or endangered. I know MANY of us have or have had one or more of these listed species (ducks, chickens, pheasants, etc) but I have yet to see...
So I have two golden pheasants; a male and a female.
Over the last couple of days, my male has lost seven tail feathers.
Before that he had a very thick tail with many feathers of different lengths, now the poor thing has only one long feather.
Why would he be loosing them? Could he be...
Hi everyone!
I'm building a pheasant enclosure and am wondering what everybody uses as roofing material, and what predator proofing measures you have taken!
I'm in the UK so there aren't as many predators as there are in places like the US but I'm definitely not taking any chances.
I will be...
Hey everyone. So, the strangest thing just happened. We were down the allotments seeing to our hens and newly hatched chicks when a strange bird crashed into the fence?? At first we thought it was a chicken, but it doesn’t appear to have a comb - so we honestly have no clue what it is.
It flew...
Hi all!
I'm brand new to this poultry scene. Any pointers would be most grateful.
Whilst going on a walk near my home, I came across a lone egg, laying on a construction site floor. I initially left it alone, thinking maybe mum was nearby and I didnt want to disturb it, I looked around just...
