In starting your breeding operation for this pheasant, one has the choice of purchasing breeding stock, eggs, or day-olds, all of which can be obtained at very little cost from reputable and reliable breeders. The small pheasant farmer who raises only a few pheasants will find that by purchasing eggs or day old birds, he/she will eliminate the necessity of caring for adult birds up to and during the laying season; he will be able to obtain complete settings or group of pheasant at one time and he can reduce the amount of equipment needed. In mating, one male is provided for each five or six female pheasants. Individual mating pens with only one male pheasant are more satisfactory than large pens with two or more males pheasants.
These pheasants should be kept in covered pens on well-drained soil. If pheasants are held in a separate pen during the winter, they should be taken from the winter holding pens and put in laying pens about four weeks before the mating season, which is often about the first of March. Pheasants should be culled at this time and only select pheasants kept as breeding stock. Cornstalks or brush should be placed in the center of the pen as a hiding place should animals such as cats and dogs come too close.
The number of eggs and hatchability obtained with these pheasants will depend largely on the quality of diet fed to the breeders. If pens are movable so that green feed is available, hatching results are likely to be more satisfactory. Excellent feeds are available
at your local feed supply companies. During the non-breeding season mixed grains should also be provided. Oyster shell and grit is also important. Fresh drinking water is supplied daily and should be kept before the pheasants at all times.
Some pheasant hens will lay 50 or more eggs in a season, but the average production is about 35 eggs. Pheasant eggs should be gathered each day; however, after the weather gets warmer it is best to gather pheasant eggs more often to prevent their being exposed for too long to direct sun.
We store pheasant eggs in a cool place (a temperature of 50 to 60° F. is good). Incubation should follow soon after the eggs are laid and in no case should the eggs be held over 2 weeks. Pheasant eggs should be placed in a position of small end down at an angle of about 30 degrees. In my own pheasant breeding operation, I've found that turning my pheasant eggs at least twice daily during storage produces better hatching results.
GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HATCHING
