Golden Pheasants

[millytheterrier 12]

Hi Folks,

 

Not been online for ages..

 

Anyways I have a question on pheasants, I'm wondering if someone can give me an answer.

I bought a trio of golden pheasants a couple of months ago and they have settled in really well and laid me lots of eggs, I've recently had a pheasant hen go broody and sit on some eggs. well about 2 weeks now she's been sitting. I have fertile eggs which is good. I still have the other pheasant hen and cock in the same aviary, will these help her bring up the young? once they hatch or will I need to move them to another aviary?

 

Thanks Milly.

I used to keep a trio, and one hen never sat or laid: but she was fine in a big aviary with the other hen and her chicks. Don't know if that is the norm or not. Good luck with them: lovely birds, I'd love some more: will you be selling any of the young? Maybe shouldn't ask just yet, nowt like counting chickens before they hatch, or in this case, pheasants!

^{Hey Skycat, Thanks for replying.. Hopfully they should be okay then, theres plenty of room for the to get out of each others way. Thanks, there due to hatch this Wednesday coming, so hoping some hatch. I wont be selling any of the young till a later date once I know what sex they are. But I do have a pair of last years golden pheasants for sale, Cock bird is just colouring up and hen has been in lay. Drop me a message if interested. Cheers for info.. Milly..}
