Melanistic Mutant

For 2007 we raised but did not release 25 melanistic pheasants. We plan on using these birds for breeding. They act just like a ringneck except they are not as inclined to cannabalize each other like ringnecks do. A very beautiful bird, you will have a chance to harvest a few of these at our farm. Until you have the bird in your hands its almost impossible to appreciate the beautiful irredescent colors.

Bobwhite Quail

For 2007 we raised 200 quail. With three wild coveys already residing on our farm we did not release any here this year. However, we did release them on surrounding properties. They are a joy to raise. You will have a chance to shoot a few quail when you come to our farm in 2008. A challanging and very tasty bird.

Manchurian Pheasant

The Manchurian Cross Ringneck is the offspring of a male Pure Manchurian and a female Chinese Ringneck. The Pure Manchurians were imported as eggs directly from the fields of China. These birds have great naturally wild characteristics which are seen not only in their physical appearance, but in their performance as well. For those looking to propagate their land, the Manchurian Cross chicks and mature birds are a perfect fit. These birds have been known to roost in trees at night to avoid predation.

Japanese Verscicolor

The Green Pheasant, also know as the Japanese pheasant is a bird of Japan's lowlands. Closely related to the common pheasant, the cock is distinguished by dark green plumange on the breast and mantle. The male has and irridescent violet neck, red bare facial skin and purplish green tail. The female is smaller than the male and has a dull brown plumage with dark spots. We will have a huntable group established on our farm by fall of 09'.

Scaled Quail

The Scaled Quail, also known as Blue Quail or cottontop, is a bluish gray bird found in the arid regions of the Southwestern United States to Central Mexico. This bird is named for the scaly appearence of its breast and back feathers. Along with its scaly markings, the bird is easily identified by its white crest that resembles a tuft of cotton. Again, we will have them available by fall of 09'.
