Hello,
I have been raising pheasants for a few years. Since last year i have tried breeding. Last year my hens were laying in January to Febuary. I must have had over 200 eggs but no broody hens! I ended up releasing them on our 100 acre farm. This year i have more in a 15x15x8 pen. I have hay and christmas trees in there. Just wanted to know what to expect this year... When they will lay, how long before they become broody, etc. The pheasants were hatched this spring. I also have a heat lamp over the water so i does not freeze. Is that a bad idea?
Thanks All

Welcome to backyard chickens
It's a clever way to keep your water from freezing, but it may not be very safe, a stock tank heater or a heated water bucket would probably be a better idea just in case...
 
I tied it up so it cannot fall down or burn anything. Inwas just wondering if it will throw off the pheasants natural cycle with amount of daylight

We're glad to have you.

I don't know anything about Pheasants. I would definitely post in the Pheasants section that Two Crows linked to. Good luck with your pheasants!
