limpit Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 HI . Last season i reared a lot of guineafowl and reeves pheasants and i had a lot of people wanting them. So i am going to do the same next rearing season. If you are interested in me rearing you some guineafowl or reeves pheasants then let me know so that i know roughly how many birds to rear. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark@mbb Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have a flock of about 25 wandering around the fields and they clean everything up i have given a lot to the local shoots to teach the pheasants to roost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpit Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I reared about 60 of each for a local shoot. They put them in the pens on the shoot and charge if the birds are shot. I don't think many people take much notice on releasing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddaftspaniel Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Releasing them is illegal but keeping free range poultry isn't......................so just keep free range poultry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark@mbb Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thats like saying releasing pheasants, is illegal keepers have been using guinea fowl to teach pheasants, for as long as shooting itself you don't own guineas they roost in trees and come and go as they please i use 4 octagon 20 incubators and probably raise e3 to 400 a years for the local shoots just off the one we have wandering around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Wot breed of pheasants do u put down Mark@mbb that need to be taught to roost? I have heard a few keepers say (and know a few who have shot them out) as they reconed the fact that they roost slightly earlier and are quite vocal when roosting actually scared the pheasants from roosting. But i realise probably 1 of those keeper things that everyone has there own idea on. I take it u have never had a problem with the GF stopping or scarring ur pheas off/from the roost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
