Pheasant chat and hatch-a-long!!!

[muddy75]

There’s a lot of posts here asking questions but none really for ongoing chat about hatching, raising, keeping pheasants!!! Feel free to join and post pics and talk about your experiences and challenges with pheasants and chukars or other gamefowl!!!!!
I currently have ringneck in my aviary with Others (mixed flock) and recently hatched 4 Ringneck chicks.

Corona
Been living on his own for 4 years now. His tail feathers are growing back in now....after something tried to get him last fall? Pulled his over 6' long tail feathers out. How he has managed to escape being taken by a predator, is beyond me!

The above pics were taken this morning.

These pics were taken last fall.

Hard to believe these birds are 13 months old today! Just finishing up their molt. Have about 20 of their chicks in several brooders right now! 2 seperate bloodlines.

Bachelor party?? Where’s the strippers ??

There are 2 strippers (females) there with a pile of guys!

I reckon they have been dumped cos there is no way you would normally see them in town.

Duck shooting (includes pheasants) season has just started and I think they have been released so someone can shoot them later

I count two strippers right in the middle getting all the attention.
