Back when I was still a teen I had pheasants, just the basic amherst, golden, silver, reeves, and melanistic ringnecks. I spent all my money building awesome pens for them then when I turned 19 I had to move to the city to get a job so sold all the birds and the pens fell apart. Well this spring I came back out and was thinking about tearing down the pens but only took half of them down and used the materials else where, I just couldnt get myself to take them all the way down. Its a good thing I didnt because I moved back home recently and a good friend was moving away and sold all the basic poultry but had a lone male amherst left so she gave him to me. So now I am back in the business of pheasants and its nice to be back. Right now he is going through a nasty moult, he has no tail, one neck feather, and otherwise looks like a plucked chicken and he is living in an old shed pen til I get the netting fixed on his future home. The 4 pens I left up are all 10' wide x 20' long and 6' tall. They have the welded wire around the bottom few feet and chicken wire at the top with nylon netting for the roof. I had them planted with shrubs and grasses at one point but 4 years of neglect left them all dead, all it is now is pasture grass. I eventually plan on getting some females for the amherst, a pair of goldens, and a couple groups of silvers once I get everything back to its former glory.
