I set 10 golden and 10 peach golden pheasants with 95% candled and developed. No problem with fertility. Humidity at 50-55% through 21 days. Then I increased humidity to 70-75% for the last days. 1 hatched on end of day 23. 3 hatched on day 24. Several pipped but died in the shell the...

Yes, it took awhile, We have a male and 3 hens that are one year old. We also have a pair that are 3 years old.

im looking for peach golden pheasants. Any suggestions?

I prefer small pea gravel in areas exposed to rain. The rain helps wash any droppings below the gravel. I would expect most hens won’t go broody. I have also noticed that eggs 10 days or older have an extremely low hatch rate. Multiple males in close proximity during breeding season won’t...

We keep the bantams and pheasants in separate pens, but the pens are adjacent. My son hoped to get a better hatch rate with the bantams than with the incubator. He especially wanted a good hatch rate with the peach Golden’s.

i read postings to keep pheasants away from chickens to avoid disease exposure. My son wants to use his bantams to hatch and raise his golden and peach goldens next year. If so, how do we help protect from diseases? TIA

im treating the youngest pheasants with cored in water, starting today. Should I also be giving them anything in the regular food to help them? We lost 2 young pheasants recently and another one has same symptoms now. So we are starting treatment to prevent any further casualties. Thanks for...

I need to worm golden pheasants that are about 2 1/2 - 3 months of age. What medication and dosage is recommended? Also, I am thinking I should ahead and deworm the adults and any younger pheasants at the same time. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Sam

The peach Golden’s are 3 months old.

We have peach goldens hatched this year. The parents were absolutely beautiful. We are looking for advice on sexing them. Thanks in advance, Sam

Thanks much for the reply. I will let him know we still have some more time to wait. He is 12, and looks every day.

Hey Sean. Do you know when we should expect red Golden’s to start laying in eastern ky? It has been 30 years since I had red Golden’s and can’t remeber laying season for them. My son is quite excited about raising some this year. This is his first year with any birds. Thanks, Sam

We purchased two pair of red golden pheasants about 3 weeks ago. They seem to be doing fine in their new home. Each pair is in their own pen of 12’ x 12’. My son is quite excited about raising a few red Golden’s this year. The males have their full coloring. Does anybody know when we should...

I would like to raise in pairs.

Thanks for the quick response. I’ve been reading through several threads and posts tonight. I wish I had known about this site a few months ago.
