We raise over 20,000birds each year.
Let’s begin the journey of raising game birds….
Collecting Eggs!
We collect and wash hundreds
of eggs each day.
The eggs are then stored until
its time to incubate.
This incubator will
hold up to 5,000
pheasant eggs at one
time.
After the eggs incubate for approximately 3 weeks,
they hatch into…
Our little babies at 5 weeks old
All young pheasants are this dusty brown color to help camouflage them from
predators in the wild.
At 6 to 7 weeks old all our pheasants are equipped
with blinders.
They are already beginning to show their colored
plumage.
At 16 weeks they are almost
fully feathered.
Adolescent birds are moved
outside to a flight pen where
they are flight – conditioned.
A pheasant is considered fully grown at 18-20 weeks
of age.Now they’re ready to hunt!
