4 & 2 week old Red Golden Pheasant Chicks

The older four week old enjoys the company of the younger chicks.

The chicks have been the brooder house for a week already.  The two week olds are feathering out nicely.

The re-purposed playhouse (formerly the infirmary) is now the Brooder House.


Two of the windows have been screened along with the window panels in the door.  There is the familiar brooder lamp hung in the corner which comes on in the evening with a low wattage bulb to take any chill off.  Even with the hot temps and humidity I still find the chicks huddled together under the light in the morning.
