Well theres some hope that spring is just around the corner. I have decided to buy about 500 pheasants eggs to put in my incubator this year. Pheasants are alot of fun to start from egg to chick and can be sold as just for meat, hunting dog training, or just to release on your property.
As they start growing it takes a higher protein food you start with game bird starter, next grower , next flight conditoner, and the final stage game bird maintance.
There is alot of books on the market that will give you all the information you need, one of the best places I feel is Cackle Hatchery they have lots of reasonable priced supplies. After your birds hatch in about 28 days there ready to enjoy.
