Chickens and Pheasants Update

[@bayne7885]

Just want to say THANK YOU for all your videos. I recently found you and I've been watching your videos like candy. Chalk FULL of information

[@fattymoko]

I learn something new every time jnull uploads. I used to raise quail and they can be the noisiest, nastiest, grouchiest birds and they're high strung and nervous birds to boot. Glad to learn that pheasants are so gentle and they seem to get along pretty well. That might change a tad once the mating starts but with only one male, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Thanks for the video. My day isn't complete until I get a jnull homestead update!

[@shellygbean7453]

Beautiful birds! Love the name Tattoo for the little one and I do remember the show and always said, "de plane de plane".

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

The Plane The Plane!!! Awesome looking birds Bro!!! Good Job!

[@Blessed4service8]

Very nice & beautiful birds! Thanks for another great video, J. God Bless!

[@bearzhere]

I loved having pheasant and will HAVE them again! They are looking great! HUGZ

[@johnnywhite1681]

Im too old and crippled up to do what your doing. It's great to see you making it work. You're living the dream dude! God bless and thank you for sharing.

[@patrickmcivor1016]

good man john. You've been an inspiration for me to start keeping chickens!

[@628DirtRooster]

Those pheasants looks nice. Taxidermy video coming up? LOL

[@countrylivingeoregonstyle6145]

Wow they sure have grown fast, way to go John,looks like a good investment.

[@Chickenfoothomestead]

I am seriously considering pheasants for our homestead too. Thank you for these videos John.

[@seaotter1975]

The plane boss! The plane! LOL I remember Fantasy Island! That's too funny! Worked with a girl who was really short (not quite Tattoo's height but short)and we called her Tattoo; she was younger and had no clue of the show. LOL What a beautiful rooster! The pheasants are gorgeous! Nice video as always! :)

[@anAHDAMofYAH]

I sure like the meat & flavor of a Wild Pheasant too. They in my own personal opinion is one of Best of all the wild birds I've Eaten, and I have eaten many over the Years. Pheasant Ranks in "ONE" of the Quality of Taste to my likening. The Males have Plenty of Color. Yours are looking Great..

[@ChristopherAMacleod]

My first chicks just hatched 22 days ago. Guess you know how hungry I am for any and all tips! Thanks for all the information!!!!

[@stroupsfarm.ltd.livingthed8108]

John, Great update. BTW, you are to blame for my new addiction with raising chickens, quail and rabbits. It is very addictive and like you, We get so excited with our new babies. Next Monday we should see our first chickens start hatching. We have 23 eggs setting now. Now I want me some Pheasants :)

[@Tide12NC]

Would love to have some pheasant on our farm. Thought about raising them and quail. Just a bit of advice that may help. The fishing industry has a market for tail feathers from pheasant. We have two peacocks. They hatched out about 7 chicks back in the spring. At the time my brother had just purchased a Black and Tan pup. He got to the chicks and killed everyone. He got in a heap of trouble. He went to doggy jail for two weeks. Inside the pin where they were is where he stayed locked up. Maybe next year one of the kids will pay closer attention then to leave an open gate.

[@The1BlackKrow]

Nice looking bunch of birds there John. :)

[@hurdman7899]

Great video. You are becoming a seasoned "pheasantologist dude". Looking forward to the final product.

[@jasonmurphy3433]

Birds are looking good! Good Job!!!

[@fiore9292]

Great job!! I am learning through you!

[@SupaFlyFatGuy859]

AWESOME! Looks like all kinds of chicken mcnuggets! LOL

[@lynnen264]

J, you crack me up.....Tattoo (the plane the plane) lol Your birds are wonderful, I watched this video twice xo

[@scodurh]

Bagock..looks like a bunch o fancy chickens :)

[@shawhit3462]

Great birds!

[@OldProudVeteran]

wow they did very well. glad it worked out for you. Not a lot of pheasants down in my part of KY either. Any issues with them trying to fly up into the netting? any injuries, etc? thanks stay safe prepare God Bless

[@BittyBooBrown]

Great update Brother.

[@this-Cowboys-Ride]

The dark birds don't make as pretty of a carcass if plucked but skinning won't matter. Great video brother!

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

Thanks Mr. Null

[@OHOutdoorsman]

Thanks for the update John

[@WillowsGarden]

Nice update John, hope all is well at your place, :D

[@chevyforddodge4x4]

Hi john the pheasants are looking great ! i miss when we had 100s of them and bobwhites to watch and the chicken are doing nice too ! have a ? have you ever had fur mites in your rabbits ? if so what did u use to treat them ? have a great day ! :-)

[@Foxiepawstotti]

The little one gets in under all the others!

[@Gayle.M]

Can you use any of those feathers for tying fishing flies?

[@TheTrueRae]

John I have the original 8 hens and 1 rooster that were given to us. They are older, but I have no clue how old. We now have in addition 14 chicks, from the hens. What do I do??? Do I go ahead and butcher the old hens now? We did butcher on (I did) and she was so skinny and tough... had a lot of "YELLOW" fat deposits but not thick meat... Of course as I said, I do not know how old nor how they were fed or anything prior to us getting them. "YELP!!" How old should they be for good table food? Thank you for all your "YELP" .... I am a green horn "grin" ... Thought I would remember more from when I was a kid... another time I must say, Daddy sure knew more than me, and I see this the older I get!

[@craighinkel8821]

I also started out with Hens and a Rooster given to me, I now have 10 Muscovy Ducks, 20 chickens, 6 Turkeys, 30 Quail Age is hard to tell so at around 3 years old they slow or stop laying eggs, the size of eggs are the best indicator of age. For large size Chickens ( RIR, Bardrock, ect ) Large eggs old Hen 3+ years old laying 3 to 4 eggs a week.,Medium size egg 1 to 2 years old laying 5 to 6 eggs a week, Small egg 6 months to a year old or small size breed. Harvest unwanted roosters at 6 months, The meat should be refrigerated for a week or more untell the muscles and tendons relax. Then cook. Older chickens are best in stew or canned meat Good Luck

[@TheTrueRae]

Craig Hinkel Thank you so much!!! This helped a lot.

[@craighinkel8821]

***** I put them on a water only diet 12-24 hours before culling. An empty system helps stop with leakage while cleaning .

[@notsheeple2019]

Thanks for the update.

[@theelfherself839]

great stuff!! thanks for posting :)

[@Autumnprepper]

My PA neighbor raises pheasants, and he catches them at night with a net, ..., but he usually doesn't take them all at once because it really makes the pheasants spooky....

[@Frankallen12]

Now this is a Great Video! I had to subscribe to you, your Videos are Great and also some Great camera work!.....Those Cornish Games are beautiful, the best chicken there is for eating! What hatchery did you get them from?... Thank You : )

[@marloweheredy7945]

Nice birds.

[@glendabrekke5475]

what type of chicken are the best for cooking that you raise. I know you can eat any chicken just wanted to know which you prefer

[@ThePeachyPrepper]

beautiful birds :)

[@tappakeggaday1]

Hi, just subscribed to your channel. I had watched one of your videos on the pheasants and then came across this one so I went on ahead and subscribed.I just had a question and that is well I have seen people with large amounts of chickens and to save on feed they let them eat the weeds and such and also they put scraps in a bin to raise black soldier fly's and the chickens go nuts for those. I was wondering do you do the same to help with your feed cost?

[@jnull0]

tappakeggaday1 Yes we do, we have just started trying for the black soldier fly larva and it has worked great..............J

[@krispotter6466]

Me and my family are wanting to get into raising pheasants. Are they pretty difficult compared to chickens? What do you feed them when they’re mature?

[@cesarlevano9391]

hi nice videos just one question have you croos pheasants with chickens

[@OneWomanAndTwoAcres]

The pheasants are beautiful. I've seen some around here in NE Georgia. Only just got a shotgun but I think that would be overkill... LOL

[@ChattahoocheeHomestead]

I'm no hunting expert but I'm learning through reading (don't even have a shotgun yet). There is something called birdshot which I'm thinking is used to hunt birds. Of course the "shot" has to be cleaned from the bird, but because of the "spray" pattern of the shot it's probably not a lot. I may be way off base here but if you look into the hunting regulations here in GA I think they specify what may be used to hunt different wildlife. Hunters be kind and forgive my ignorance, correct me if I am wrong!

[@OneWomanAndTwoAcres]

I'll look into it. Of course, nothing is allowed on my place. My dog sees to that... But I've seen them along my LONG driveway!

[@bobinmissouri]

Chattahoochee Homestead in Missouri you have to use number 4 or 5 shot for turkey squirrel rabbit and other birds

[@OneWomanAndTwoAcres]

I need to look into the laws and such here in Georgia. Not sure what the shot load should be....

[@bobinmissouri]

yes they are very beautiful birds and are very fast too

[@deke441]

they all look very tasty. If your looking for character at the old home place you should get a cougar. Just keep it away from your birds, livestock and small children.

[@bobinmissouri]

great videos bro if you want keep ticks under control get some guineas they will eat them and will also let you know when someone is on your place like a watch dog

[@billdaniels9450]

great video

[@keithshears1995]

What do you do with the feathers from the pheasants

[@Emiajtruk]

Dee plain, boss, dee the plain!

[@joeyjewett4016]

Just wondering do you have snake problems around the bird ,s

[@Jodi_lynn]

I had lady Amherst pheasants they where not anything like ur birds! They where so jumpy and sketchy I had mime for two hole years and never got a single egg :( I think I might try that kind out next spring.

[@MamawsRebornPunkinPatch]

So beautiful

[@SableRabbitry]

I wonder what mistakes you made with the Pheasants? We just ordered our babies, so I'm totally checking out your setup. We have a similar small farm situation. Any info is appreciated.

[@djakscht]

do pheasants need to be in shade, or is it okay if they're in the sun 100%?

[@cfoster4389]

How do you keep predators away from your chickens? I've had raccoon sneak in and attack as well as hawks.

[@pamp5797]

Do you have banties? Could be why the little one.

[@sardiidris88]

Good👍🐓

[@waltlars3687]

How hard are pheasnant chicks to raise ? Do You have to show them how to drink like chicks I am thinking of mailorder "day olds " how many eggsanr or live chicks can You espect from each hen per season ?

[@patriots1needed]

Nice. Any issues with hawks or other birds of prey?

[@bobinmissouri]

I need some pheasants feathers for tying flys

[@mandykal]

I'm looking into raising a dozen Pheasants so they can eat ticks here in Connecticut, my home... do they dig holes like chickens do?

[@intuit5767]

Guinea fowl may be a better choice...pheasants will leave unless you keep them penned...guineas will stick around, and quickly rid the entire area of ticks.

[@mikey316boss8]

do you sell any of the pheasant meat or eggs?

[@JeffJamesoutdoors]

Hey bro, You going to release any of the pheasants, or just put them in the freezer?

[@jahdanhall5598]

soooo cute

[@richjenkins4521]

can you put them together in same pen

[@TimBeverly]

dhe plane boss dhe plane......

[@anthonyfischer2755]

[@ChileExpatFamily]

hey J do you have to keep chickens and Pheasants separated? I have never had Pheasants. P.S. Eat some Graters Ice Cream for me! Chocolate Mint Chip is best.

[@mindypatriotangel6064]

Now I feel old because I do remember Tattoo…lol :)

[@notsheeple2019]
