Now, they're all outside, about eight weeks old, and they free range by day and come back (both chukars and pheasants) in the evening when the turkeys come in and go right in the coop. I also have a friend who lets her chukars out every morning and they come straight away home and never leave the front yard and barnyard.
The fly tying industry has been using Golden Pheasants as a source of feathers all the way back into the mid 1800's. With the expansion of the British empire into all parts of the world scientists and naturalists began sending specimens of exotic birds back to England for research purposes.

Yes they can fly. I don't think you could free range them. We put some under a broody hen once and she raised them very well, but as soon as they could fly, they all left and never came back. The hen was quite broken-hearted! I think they just stay wild.

You can certainly have pheasants, chukars, or quail you raise domestically and kept in a uncovered yard/pen if you clip the wings, as long as you have purchased Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife bandings. For example, I bought a 100 packet for $5.
Also your state has requirements for raising ringnecks.They has Square foot per birds specs.Here it is 25 sq ft per bird,this only pertains to ringnecks.Ornamental pheasants fall under different guidelines which are not governed by states.But I would think for the benfit of the birds that everyone that raises them are thinking of the birds requirements and not what they can afford to provide ...

We raise several types of pheasants on a fairly large ranch and I have had some birds get loose and have stuck around for several weeks as long as they have food and water, but eventually they all ...
Hi, the other day we were driving along when I brought up the topic of getting me a couple of Golden pheasants for Christmas. I have never kept pheasants, only quail, and I know that if you buy them as adults and let them out, they either fly away or circle the fence perimeter until they find a hole big enough to squeaze through.
