As the nesting season approaches hens become attentive and
select roosters with which they will breed.

A nesting hen lays eggs at a rate of about one per day until
her clutch is completed. She may lay up to 20 eggs, but
frequently lays less. The average is 11 eggs.

Pheasant broods often appear along roadsides during early
morning and evening hours.
