Dawn419,
We got pheasants a week ago and I would never do it again! We have lost 3 to canibalism and suffocation and we have 3 in isolation for sore butts due to pecking and my hubby found another one this morning when he checked them. Even though we debeaked lastnight. i was the one doing it and I didnt want to hurt the growth in their beak. Maybe I didnt take enough. All I know is that they are a pain in the a**! They are very hard to raise and we have them in a shed with 3 times the space that they are "supposed" to need. I am at a loss on what else to do. So when I read that your hubby suggested pheasants, like mine did, I had to tell you about this. Hopefully you can talk him into something else.
