    Hi,I was thinking of getting into breeding pheasants to be released on our land,not many a couple dozen.I have heard from friends that the only way to sucessfully rear pheasants that will breed in the wild after being released is to hatch them and rear them using a broody bantam.Is this true?Will incubator hatched pheasants not breed in the wild?

    any advice would be much appreciated.

    i was told the same before, that they'll lay the egg but wont sit and hatch it, but ive since been told that they will hatch the eggs. if you have an incubator or the use of one it might be interesting to try both and see what happens..........and tolet us all know what happens. best of luck with it regardless:)

    I think i will try it with an incubator first coz the hassle of having a broody bantom when you need it.
