Just received a gift of 2 pairs of Golden Pheasant younglings so need to start getting onto the housing quite quickly. So far i got an old dog pen i was going to use. Will be 6*3 meters and with extra netting to stop rodents/martens. And with planks at the bottom so they can't see out while on the ground.
How would they like their house to be? Are they fine with a house with a small opening like chickens or do they want it to be more an open wind cover with just covered sides and roof? Or perhaps with 1/2 of the front also covered so they can go in and be protected from all sides?
Roof over half or the entire aviary? Got quite long and cold winters where i live with plenty of snow.
Will it be fine with the 2 pairs together or should the extra male live elsewhere? All the time or just during breeding? They were only sold in pairs and still quite young so my husband bought 2 pairs in case any is ''lost''.
