Pheasant Cottage

This is the Pheasant Cottage or Pheasant Managers Home. Like all department heads the Pheasant Manager lived near the fowl he cared for. In this area over 20,000 eggs could be harvested in any year. The Pheasants were of the Mongolian breed. The Pheasant Manager was also in charge of the dog kennels on the West side of the Farm.

Here we see some of the Mongolian Pheasants on the Anna Dean Farm. The male pheasants have the bright colors and nice markings. The hens are a plain brown and are easily camouflaged with their surroundings.
