Melanistics - and Silvers *update*

[chseeads]

Had some fighting amongst my male melanistics (3 of them beating up on 1).... Have actually ended up selling off a trio and two pairs, so I'm left with what is hopefully a lean, mean breeding group of 8 hens and a rooster. lol

I hope he's nice and frisky and fertile. lol

I wish I would have known that you had some melanistics available. I've been looking for some of them. Where did you buy yours?

 

[chseeads]

I got them late last summer from Murray McMurray, which ships them from Macfarlane Pheasants.

Here's a few new pics I took yesterday....

My Melanistic Rooster

Melanistic Hen(s)

Silver Rooster....immediately after the first pic he did his wing fluttering display thing, of course before I had a chance to get a picture of him doing it....

so you purchase them from MurryMcmurry where they hatching eggs or day old chicks

or there looking great too

 

[chseeads]

Yeah, ordered from McMurray, which actually dropshipped from MacFarlane Pheasants. Day old chicks.

My silver hen has laid 4 eggs so far in the past 7 days.

The male does his wing flapping quite a lot but i have not seen them mate,
He is quite an aggressive bloke to her
any idea what to do .
i feed them lots of salads,apples etc both look super but for the mating
