(all my birds go broody) ? Do all game birds go broody? Or could it be you know what you are doing, because this is my second year at trying to raise Pheasants and most of the time I don't have a cue. I'll be sure I do this ( Make sure it is set up so the chicks will have no problems with food and water. No big drops where they are unable to stat with the hen) Thanks again
I have RN hens and Melanistic hens that will sit full term and hatch. These birds are in with the general population, nesting either on the ground in round 16" bowls 2 hens in each or up on a second tier shelf hesting in bowls. Keep in mind that these birds are 2 and 3 year olds, and the 1 year olds don't seem to want to get with the program. All total I think I have now over ten hens doing this. I believe they do this just to get away from the cock birds.When the chicks hatch and dry, I just take them and place them in the brooder. Those are my cheap hatches.StevePheasant Hollow Farm
