The Gamebirds We Raise
Ring-necked Pheasant
The Ring-necked Pheasant is a large, dramatic bird, approaching nearly 3 feet, with a long, pointed tail. It was introduced from Eurasia for game hunting. The female pheasant is drab and mottled brown. The male is more boldly colored with a darker, mottled body, a white collar, or ring, around his neck, and an iridescent blue-green head with a bold red patch around the eye.
Our pheasants are carefully tended to develop maximum tail length.
Chukar Redleg Partridge
The Chukar Redleg is a small flighty bird. Known for their flying ability and their zebra like stripes, they are a favorite addition to gamebird hunts. These birds hold well in cover and get up and go when flushed. These birds thrive in dry arid conditions; however, recently they have become a very popular additive to hunts looking to add speed to their hunts. These birds tend to run uphill and flush down hill often giving the hunters numerous chances.
Habitat consists of small grains or brushy terrain. To hold the birds to the terrain a small stream or water source is necessary.
Bobwhite Quail
A round-bodied, ground-dwelling bird, the Bobwhite is patterned in shades of brown varying from rufous, to chocolate, to tan. A light-colored throat and eyebrow band are distinctive marks. Males and females appear similar, but males have less streaking on their breasts, and their eyebrows and throat bands are white instead of tan.
Since quail are known to “imprint” we avoid all unnecessary contact until we are ready to package them from the flight pens.
