Silver Pheasant Breeding Question

[Game Bird Guy]

Quote:
So is he refunding your money you paid down?

What was he charging to board the birds for 3 months?

I was refunded all the money I gave him. He said he would not charge me to keep them until he was able to bring them by or I picked them up. I have been free to go and get them for a long time, he just never gave me a time that worked for him.

I have a question that I may as well add here, instead of starting a new thread. Are black mutant ringnecks purebred? I have gotten this exact same information on about 1o websites. I just wanted to check.

"This melanistic mutant is a pure breed. These large, beautiful pheasants feature an iridescent, greenish-black plumage. A favorite variety for release, they display a remarkable ability to survive and reproduce in the wild. Prime habitat consists of 55-70 % crop fields such as corn, soybean, or small grains. The remainder of the habitat should include some wetlands, grassland, and woodland or brushy thickets."

Thanks. Kramer

Depends on your definition of purebred. Black ringnecks breed true (black x black produces black offspring).

Alot of people try to include "domestic green" ringnecks under the term "melanistic" so you need to make sure they are true black ringnecks.​

My definition of purebred is a bird that contains only one species. No green X ringneck. Also, what is a fair price for 1 year old melanistics amd jumbo chinese? I found some for $25. I only paid $12.50 for my Silvers though.

Hi. I have the opportunity to buy 2 hens for my male Silver Pheasant. I have a concern though. My male has crooked toes. Do you think he would actually mate with the hens? I have a Leghorn rooster with crooked toes and he does not mate with his hens, and he is of breeding age. I don't want tp buy the hens unless he would actually mate with them, as he is completely contented living with my peacock right now. All advice is accepted, positive or negative. Thanks in advance. Kramer.

I see you're located in Victoria. Any change that is Victoria, Texas?
