Yep several of mine have done that as well as sat with the girls when they would lay...like they were holding their hand lol!Have you ever had a rooster who was making a nesting hole? Houdini has been making a depression in the dirt next to the outside of the coop, which is slightly protected from rain and sun He also seems like he was inspecting the tarp/cover above it. His call noise sounds different from food calls.
Well of course they are!!!Chicklets all put themselves to bed tonight with no help from me ❤. 6 1/2 weeks old, and this is only their 4th night out in the run. Prodigies, every last one of them LOL.
Mine do that too i have one roo that spends a lot of time in the nest boxes smooshing around like a hen and making soft calls. He wants to breed so bad and seems to be trying his best to convince the ladies he's worthy. The ladies don't seem to like him yet though.Have you ever had a rooster who was making a nesting hole?

Sounds like fun . If I lived somewhere they could survive wild, I think I'd raise a batch to adulthood and let them loose on my property just to enjoy them.The pheasants were an experiment, really. My husband has raised them before, and they do require special housing. I’m brooding them together at the moment, and will continue outside in another brooder, but will most likely rehome them.
I entertained raising them for a second, but we already have built three runs/coops over the last year for my chickens, and that is where I will focus my passion. There is really no market for pheasants here, they are very fragile, and ultimately, it just seems cruel to keep them caged up, to me. And I like chicken eggs, better They are hilarious to watch, though
Tell us more!I go on my first solo colony feeding tomorrow @3am. Most exciting!
Sending caring thoughts and prayers for DH and family.Welp. Heilani went broody again after being out with the flock for a few days. I caught her back in the nest box last eve. I almost caved, she is wearing me down
Rescued another pup on my way up to Koke'e. I was on my motorcycle so had to call DH to come pick this sweet bug up. This is one of the many reasons i always keep granola bars with me. View attachment 3501259took her to KHS yesterday while driving DH to airport. His mom is at the end and hospice has been called
A few more trips to the cabin but all is washed and sundried and put back. Smells clean. Just gotta make the beds and give floors a final wash.
Been greeted by the feral flock up there everytime. Such a joy to make their day with some tossed food as they make mine with their presence.

Been busy with all of my extra stuff and then picking up DH's chores again. I'm tired.
Feral roo that I STILL have has found his voice and is fit enough to be released. So I will take him with me tomorrow morning and release him at the pasture. I need to trap the small tribe that is hanging out here and release them at the pasture too. It will be a good life for them.
Mo'o has been a terrific patient and healing well.
My flock is wonderful and gave me 16 eggs today.
I hope her passing is peaceful and kind to her.Welp. Heilani went broody again after being out with the flock for a few days. I caught her back in the nest box last eve. I almost caved, she is wearing me down
