They get the same food as all my birds. I give them egg maker crumbles. Even the quail are eating it. I found they actually eat that brand and the other things I've tried they kick most of it around and it's pretty wasted. At $10 bucks a 50 lb bag, I'd rather feed 'em what they gonna eat ALL...

Is this a frizzled pheasant.... are they possible... ???

Okay a little history--- I have a table top incubator that has hatched about 4-5 hatches of birds. It does well and there have been no problems. Our birds started laying a lot more (like 24-28 a day), so we got a much larger incubator.The larger bator hatched out the first 3-4 hatches fine...

Thankfully I have long left this neighborhood. However, the horrific memories have yet to leave my memory. I lived in a housing apartment complex where some of the apartments doors faced each other. The porch was along one end of the house and a little brick wall seperated your front porch...

Just an idea if you have someone you want to just annoy....or makes a great gag joke for some friend with a sense of humor...(make take including a few friends to make it happen quicker) Again.. at night... take several boxes of plastic forks and stick them all over the yard... prongs down...

Okay, I just read something that stopped me in my tracks to getting a pressure cooker. I was planning on geting one this past weekend but had too much company to go shopping, so it will be this coming Friday. I have canned tomatoes and such using the hot water bath 2 years ago, put up 15...

I have 17 'teens'. They have learned to dig from under the coop and get out. They are worse than a cooped up puppy for digging their way out. Every afternoon when I get in from work it's chick catching time...I have found that the dip net works well since they can be super fast runners. My DH...

Thanks. That's what I thought, too. Ended up with 29 pheasant eggs and 71 quail in the bator. I will be waist deep in birds within a month!!!!

The person I am getting some eggs from told me that you place pheasant eggs small end up while incubating. I thought all eggs were placed small end down, espically if you have them resting in egg cartons during the incubating. I was also told that it is okay to leave the eggs turning right up...

Mine love some yogurt... I give them some from the fridge around 6-7 pm... wonderful cool down snack before time to roost for the night.
