View attachment 1225051 This beauty is an 11 month old red sex-link. Her name is Goldie and she’s been my best most consistent egg layer! Doesn’t she look lovely against the white snow? The pic was taken a few days ago. She seems to be handling our dry cold Idaho weather pretty well!
Where in Idaho are you?
For something a bit different our pretty Button Quail girls, an Ivory called Pearl, and a Caramel called Madison. They are 3 months old and are our daughter's birds.

All of those are easy going. Mine are very tame, come up to me when I go in their pen, eat out of my hand, etc...they don't like to be handled tho, only time they get flighty is if a predator comes around or I go into their pen with a shovel, rake, stick.
Their quite most of the time, breeding season they do a lot of calling....which is a screeching sound but other than that, quite peaceful birds.
If you decide to get some let me know, I'll PM you with some pointers to look for in pure bred birds. There's a lot of breeders, if you can call them that (peeps that just happen to have pheasants) that will sell you a crossbred bird and say it's pure.
If you want the true pheasants, that's a different story. They are very flighty, anything and everything scares them. They need different kind of habitational environment. Their beautiful birds as well, here's a few more eye candy! Enjoy!
