Some interesting facts on pheasants from the NRCS.

Most notably their pest and disease resistance.

Mr. Pheasant is back this afternoon cozied up in the big coop. The chickens in the big coop, who are all bigger than him, were acting a bit leery. I guess he gets to stay as long as he wants. Really how could I keep him away unless I lock my birds up? I am glad to know they are generally healthy.

Jorey, My chickens calm me too...until you have a hawk attack, then come back like he did tonight...now there is no calm in me.....Only anxiety over the saftey of my birds.

I am also a lurker, always feel like im intruding when I jump intot hese threads (like I did a few days ago when I made my searching for cochins post, now Ive been lurking since.)
