Common questions
Do I need a permit for pheasants?
Often, yes. Many states require a game bird breeder permit.
What health checks should chicks or adults have?
Ask whether the flock is NPIP-certified, and check whether your state needs a permit to keep or sell the species. Look for full feathering, clear eyes and a clean vent, and quarantine new birds for 30 days.
Can pheasants fly?
Yes. They need covered pens or clipped wings.
Ask the seller for these. Documents on Everybarn are on file for your own checks; we don't check them with the issuer.
