Melanistic Mutant Pheasants

These originated within feral stock in Europe over 100 years ago. The males are entirely dark with a glossy green and blue shade to them. The females are greenish black. They lay small brown eggs and have an incubation period of 24-25 days. A favorite variety for release, they display a remarkable ability to survive and reproduce in the wild. Prime habitat consists of 55-70 % crop fields such as corn, soybean, or small grains. The remainder of the habitat should include some wetlands, grassland, and woodland or brushy thickets.

These birds have been available only as part of the "Sportman's Gamebird Special",

Dear Sirs
I would like to take the time just to say Thank You to your staff. They were ready to help, and went the extra mile to ensure my total satisfaction with my order. I have found in this day and age that business practices of that nature have all but died. You have earned a customer by your genuine concern and courteous attention that was shown each time that I've called. And to all the ladies in your office that helped me, thank you. Sincerely,
Gary Wagner
