[QUOTE="KDM, post: 32960, member: 314"] We only kept 20 to 30 hens and at most 4 roosters through the winter. They hit the road as soon as the snow melt was done and the grass dried out. Most years that was Late April or Early May. At that time, food costs were about 5 bucks a bag and they would eat 1 bag every 2 weeks or so. Total cost for the over winter time was about 200 bucks with everything, but your return on investment was about 80% nesting success or 16-24 clutches give'er take. 6-8 chicks per clutch (Average) and you have a lot of pheasants on the landscape. It worked for us. [/QUOTE]
