Through the NYSDEC Day-Old Pheasant Chick Program, pheasant chicks are available at no cost to participants who are able to provide a brooding facility, a covered outdoor rearing pen, and an adequate release site. Approved applicants receive the day-old chicks in April, May, or June.
All pheasant release sites must be approved in advance by DEC and must be open for public pheasant hunting opportunities. More info on the DEC program may be found here.
The Monroe County 4-H Program is proud to offer the chick program to 4-H families. For more info regarding 4-H in Monroe County, click HERE.
