Thank you for your interest in our ringneck pheasant adults or day-old chicks. Our pheasants are a Chinese Ringneck with a slight Mongolian Cross, coloring up as adults with blue-green backs, white rings and dark burgundy body feathers. Some darker variations in coloration (“blacks”) appear infrequently, and are in great demand. We do not actively breed for that strain, and cannot predict how many we can provide. Since the process is time-intensive, we charge a surcharge of $.10 per chick to sort these. Elkhorn hens dress out as adults at about 2 to 21/2 pounds providing enough for the pot, while being highly flighty for good hunting. They are used regularly on our own and nearby hunt clubs, as well as shipped across the country with similar results, dependant on feeding practices.
Fuel and feed prices have received much recent focus, and rightly so. These costs impact your raising and pricing strategies “big time.” We wish you the wisdom of Solomon in figuring these issues out. Shipping costs have also increased and will most likely continue to do so. Please note we can no longer estimate and extrapolate shipping costs, needing to use the www.usps.com postage calculator to figure your actual rate. If you need assistance in this area, please feel free to contact us. In the east, or closer zones, the costs seem less, and to the west, further away, they have increased. We will do our best to see you get them in a timely manner.
See our Basic Care & Keeping page for additional information regarding raising your birds. While we are willing to advise, you alone can care for your birds the way they should be tended. Educate yourself now about raising birds by reading Gamebird Propagation by late author John Mullin, or Dr. Swartz’ book Grower’s Reference on Gamebird Health. There are numerous gamebird educational seminars available through NAGA or regional associations.

Shipping adult– or partially-adult birds
We cannot truck deliver adult or partially adult birds longer than 16 hours away, so delivery west of the Mississippi is not available. This does not apply to our chicks which travel by Express Mail in a shorter time. We would be glad to refer you to one of our chick customers near you for older birds. |
