Last call for ordering pheasant chicks to raise, release
GAME BIRDS – The Inland Northwest Wildlife Council is giving the last call of the season to order day-old pheasant chicks for people who have facilities to raise birds for around six weeks before releasing them into the wild.
The council provides the birds in lots of 25 and charges a fee to cover costs.
- Hens $.40 each (25 chick minimum)
- Roosters $2.25 each (any amount)
- 1/2 hens x 1/2 Roosters $1.50 each (minimum order 26)
- Starter feed $20 per 50-pound bag.
This season's last shipment of chicks from Little Canyon Shooting Preserve in Peck, Idaho, will be distributed June 13, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., said program coordinator Larry Carey. Chicks must be ordered by June 6.
