im treating the youngest pheasants with cored in water, starting today.
Should I also be giving them anything in the regular food to help them?
We lost 2 young pheasants recently and another one has same symptoms now. So we are starting treatment to prevent any further casualties.

I had a neighbor that introduced me to chickens and of course I then followed and was raising about 30+ chickens, button quail, Chukar quail and ducks and a mating pair of ringneck pheasants. My favorite duck Houdini, I raised from the day he hatched. What a wonderful experience. After about...
Hi everyone,
We're looking to add to our flock and thus your advice.
We already have chickens and are trying to decide between quail or pheasants. Living in Canada and tempuratures can go to -30 degrees celsius so a cold hardy bird is necessary.
Can anyone share their experience with...
I just found out that more than 50 species of fowls in Galliformes are closely related and can produce fertile offspring with each other despite their great differences in colors, builds and vocalization.That means we can totally create “integrated pheasants ”exactly the way we want them to...
Over the years, I've seen lots of hybrids from rooster x Pheasant hen and Pheasant x hen. Both F1 offspring have no Chicken-like combs or wattles.Even whether they're fertile remains quite controversial.
Recently, however, I came across an article that said fertile hybrids have already been...

As a teenager, I absolutely loved my pheasants. I raised red golden, lady Amherst, and silver pheasants. While away in college, dad sold my flock. I guess he didn’t have the time to take care of extra birds on the farm.
Many years later, I now live in a subdivision in the country with some...
Hello!
I have a pair of young lady amherst pheasants and I'm not sure if they're male or female, I know the male birds take a long time for their full plumage to grow in but I'm just very curious. I've heard you can tell by their eyes?
I have pics if that helps
Hi everybody!

I just got some Red Golden chicks a few months ago! :D They are growing so beautifully I can't wait for more and more color to show up!
Unfortunately, they are batshit crazy. We had a mycoplasma scare two weeks in with the turkey's we bought at the same fair, but luckily the goldens were...

I'm going to the Pennsylvania Aviculture Society Tailgate later this September! I am so excited to get involved and am looking to possibly get a few more birds! :D
I'm wondering what species can live with pheasants that are perhaps lower to the ground or higher. Does that make any sense...
I am working on building a night enclosure for my pheasants. I've run out of room in my barn so this enclosure has to be completely outdoors. The plans I have seem well ventilated but I'm unsure of the dangers of pressure treated wood. Will the chemicals be dangerous to my birds? What's the...
Hi,
I'm wondering if someone can help me. I fell in love with Ijima Copper Pheasants, and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a pair or eggs to hatch?
I have a 1 year old male reeves pheasant and I have a large coupe and yard for him , I read it is normal for pheasants in general to stay in their yard more than they are in the house but I’m worried that he isn’t drinking and eating as much as he should , his food and water is in the house , I...
