The common Chinese ringnecked pheasant, Phanisaus colchicus colchicus is not that expensive to raise nor bring very much when sold, might be lucky to get $25 a pair or trio.I didn't think it would be. Pheasants and grouse certainly are gorgeous birds, but people do hunt and eat them as well.
I wouldn't have even thought about eating them if it wasn't for @R2elk, lol.
I would love to have some pheasant one day, just to keep for eye candy
Costs alot to go hunting them, though!
ETA - I do raise a few extra ringneckeds for the freezer but their not my 'high dollar' birds. I pheasant, it's way better than chicken!
