Stillsy Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) After i finished catching up hens and cocks, and making my breeding pen i have finally finished with 30 hens running with 6 cocks. I've had them now for just over a month, and have got them up to breeding quality, they've been on flubervet and an all round pheasant vitamin and are looking really good. To my surprise this morning just having a good look round the pen i came across my first pheasant eggs! I have set the incubators this morning and hope to have them full within the next few weeks. Once all the hens have started laying i should be collecting on average 200 eggs a week, i can only incubate 200 eggs. So my point is i'm going to have surplus eggs to requirement. Eggs can only really be stored for 10 days if they are turned daily. If anyone is after some eggs please get in contact. I will have 200 eggs for sale per week. Please send a PM if interested. They wont be expensive as there just to cover my costs. Many thanks James. Heres some photos i just took of them. http://s613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/stillsy_1/ Edited April 1, 2009 by Stillsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 James... do you want some geese? My Grans just sold her house and the new owners don't want them. They are currently laying. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 OK mate no worries, they are free to a good home and not too agressive (bark is worse than their bite) so we just want to find somewhere decent for them. If you can't sell the phessie eggs my Dad said when he used to rear pheasants that his Grandmother used them in cooking cakes... FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
