My neighbor came over today all excited because he thought he caught one of my chickens! We laughed and laughed and said "thats not a chicken, thats a pheasant" and then he let it go in the woods.
Now I think maybe we let a domestic pheasant into the wild. We have gray foxes in those woods. ooops..
so what is this? I may not see it again, but if I do, I want to do the right thing. Can I put it in with my chickens? Or should i just find someone local who raises pheasants? Its a beautiful bird, I'd love to have it, but not sure how my hens would incorporate it.
Thanks!
