The Golden Pheasant i find to be one of the most brath taking pheasants their is. It has  beautiful father patterns of all difrent colors.  It has a beautiful  ornge with black stripes going across its neck with a golden crown over its head with a red chest, as see in the images provided above. They also have they most beautifulhe golden eyes that I have ever seen in any game bird today. Golden Pheasant is also refered to as the Chinese Pheasant. They are mostly found in China but are also found in many other parts of the warld. The female (hen) is much less showy, with a duller mottled brown plumage similar to that of the female Common Pheasant. They feed on the ground on grain, leaves and invertebrates like warms and bugs.  They can fly but most of them prefer to run but if startled they can suddenly burst upwards at great speed. Although they can fly in short bursts they are quite clumsy in flight and spend most of their time on the ground. Golden Pheasants lay up to 8 or12 eggs at a time and will incubate (sit on the egg to keep them warm) these for around 22 to 23 days. They also tend to eat berries, grubs, seeds and other types of vegetation.

Golden Sebrights

Golden Sebrights are small bantams that where developed by John Saunders Sebright in the 19th century. The Golden Sebrights is a nice looking bird that is also grate to enter in to 4-H shows because of its little body and its grate father patern. The Golden Sebright is among the most popular of bantam breeds. They also lay tiny, white eggs and are not kept for meat production. I also think that if you wanted a little pet to make your back yared look good then I would get Golden Sebrights. Its also nice to have them because they don’t take up so much room and their chicken pin can be small making it not hard to clean.

araucana

Where do I start with the Ameraucana well it has feathers on the side of its head, just like the Araucana they Ameraucana came from the breed Araucana. Well I have a Ameraucana and she is my best chicken I think. She lays good eggs that are blueish green or just green and or blue.  They are nice to other chickens thow you  can ArauEggsalways get an evil one because not all birds are going to be the same. If you like strang things then this breed is the one for you because of its eggs. The Ameraucana allso comes in both sizes bantom and larg, that is good for the people who don’t have the space to keep big chickens and want this bird. The Ameraucana also comes in 9 colors Black, Blue, Blue Wheaten, Brown Red, Buff, Silver, Wheaten, White, and the rare lavender color. Well thats all I have to say about the Ameraucana for now. If you want to askanything about the Ameraucana just comment on this post and ill get back to you as fast as I can.

 The Egyptian Fayoumi is a rare breed of chicken that originated from Egypt. The Egyptian Fayoumi rooster weighs about 4.5 pounds and the hens weigh about 3.5 pounds. The Fayoumi from what I have been told is one of the best breed for 4H shows. Because the breed is rare and I think a vary nice looking bird. The Fayoumi also lays grayish colored eggs that are the size of normal eggs you buy from the store. Fayoumis im sad to say are hardy breed, and particularly well suited to hot climates. So if you live in places like Florida,  New Mexico, Arizona, ect. Well thats all i have to say about the Fayoumi at this point. So if you want to know more or want to ask something about the breed just comment on this post. Thanks agian =)
