Richie10 345 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I found it. Says can be kept in the garden, they are quiet and eat the same as chickens. Keep them in an avairy before letting them out for a few weeks, like chickens. I wouldnt keep them with chickens though, too aggressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bluemink Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I hatched them under a broody with better results than the incubator. I wouldn't keep them in a run with chickens but they can be free ranged with chickens in my experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
"Earth!" 503 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I hatched them under a broody with better results than the incubator. I wouldn't keep them in a run with chickens but they can be free ranged with chickens in my experience. doubt i would let mine have free roam of my garden.its very remote where i live and although my garden is secure,there are that many other released pheasants around me,id imagine they would bugger off with them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 They rear much better under a banty than in incubator, I would keep them with poultry any day if they are free range and have space to spare, but they may well wander off. The ones ive had were put to the woods, and they held very well where I wanted them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
