Um, I think restocking wild populations should be left to professional biologists. Are the birds you will release healthy? Have you done blood work on them? Will they have some disease that could wipe out the entire wild population? How do you know? Does the wild population NEED restocking? Do you have stats?
Really, if you do happen to raise some birds, please shoot them in front of the hay stack, and don't endanger the wild birds.

there are all kinds of phesent farms in Alberta, and the majority are set up as ryan is describing, hatch, ween and let loose. I remember when I was a kid you would get the bejeasus scared out of you every 30 or 40 feet as they took to the air, now you hardly see them, but they are comming back. even though they are not a native they are common.
