This is the male pheasant we purchased today. Lady Amherst Pheasant approx 11 months. He will be a beautiful boy when he colours up. We also bought another female as well but she wouldnt sit for me. lol  |

They are beautiful birds. Do you have them in a big aviary on their own?

He is beautiful! Be careful when putting the males together! They can get nasty!

Yes we have had Golden Pheasants too but have found the Lady Amhersts are much harder to come by so decided to keep them.
They are beautiful.
Thanks

Thats great! Have you ever bred them before? We find they go better in the incubator or under a chook than with the mum pheasant. However, we have had some mums hatch and care for their own.

no this is our first year. so far she is doing good, very attentive to her eggs. We shall see what happens. Her mum incubated her own eggs so lets hope there is some genetic rub off.. lol Ok a question if anyone has done the pheasant breeding. Should the male be removed from the area  |
