Man doesn't the pheasant look ded it is acutely scratching his head.   Look at all that colore the have red, green, brown, White, black and a pinkish red.

This is a pheasant with almost has all his colore he has black, orange, red and white

Hey everybody check out the bird manager, pretty cool with his red head and brown eyes.

            He loves the pheasants, we often find him  pressed up against the wire and just watching the birds fly.

The birds can really fly.  Look at them.  They  are scary when they come flying out at you, especially since their spurs are half an inch long.  One of the birds is starting to turn green on its back.

The pheasants are huge. They are starting to

 get some red around their eyes and chest.

Hey, check out the  difference between the one that didn't grow and the one that did pretty amazing.

Hey everybody, check out all the pheasants on the feeder.  They eat a 50 lb bag of feed a week.

Is that a lot of feed or what?  That is about what I eat in two to three weeks.

The pheasants really like the sun, when I go out there in the morning, all the pheasants are laying by the door in the sun.

This is one of the birds that didn't grow very much,

it is almost the exact same size as when we got them.

Now compare these with the one on top. 

There is a big difference between them.  They are the same age, but they don't look like it.

the other day our beak bits arrived. The beak bit is a piece of metal that fits between the two halves of the beak and clips into the nostril.  It is used for preventing the birds from pecking open the shoulder of another bird which will allow other birds to open the wound further and the bird will eventually die of the loss of blood or body parts.

Rearing Pheasants

Today we found one of the pheasants had its shoulder pecked open.

         We had to bring him in the house, so the other pheasants wouldn't peck at him.      

This is a picture of one of the exotic pheasants we have. 

There are two colors: brown and brown with white.

  The pheasants are two weeks old to day.   They can now fly up to six feet off the ground.  Today we placed the net half  way over the flight pen.   

                                                                   

The close phaesant is a ring neak, but we do not know what kind the two dark ones are.  You can't really see it, but the two dark ones have red on ther heads and wings. 

  This is a picture of one of the pheasants. It is a week old, and is almost fully feathered. they are flying now and can get about three feet above the ground.                                                                      

                                                                                                                                                                     This is a picture of the pheasants, four days before we touk the top picture.

Pheasants in the Backyard

This is a picture of our pheasants. When we got them, we had 125.  They were so small and they had only their down.  After three days, their wings had feathers on them.  Now they are trying to fly out of the pen.  We have had them for five days now and we have had four die.  Notice the little yellow one, we wondered if it was a chicken.  It turned out to be a silver pheasant, unfortunately it was one of the little critters that died.

When we got them from the hatchery we had to pull them one at a time from the box and dip their beaks in the water.  They sometimes fail to find the water if you don't show them and then they will dehydrate and die.

This is us working on building our flight pen.  Notice we don't have the netting up yet.  Good things the birds won't need it for a few more days.  Our goal is to have it up by Thursday.

Wrestling is an awesome sport. The reason I like wrestling, is because it is me and my opponent out on the mat.  I can't blame my mistakes on any body but myself . It gets rid of  all my extra energy and anger. The people that I wrestle in practice I get to know a lot better.

        Today my mom and sister had to go to town so I got to watch my little brothers. when my  mom got back I went out and cleaned out part of the barn. It was coverd with manure, so I took a shovel and cleaned it out. Now it will be a place to put my trapping supplies and motorbike. In my studes I learned what an inverse functioun is.
