<p>These birds originate in Asia, where there is a long culture of raising and hunting pheasants. Pheasants can be seen in numerous works of Asian art, with many painters preferring the more brightly coloured males, and they slowly worked their way across the continent to Europe and later North America. Some notable pheasant species include golden pheasants, ring-necked pheasants, green pheasants, common pheasants, white-eared pheasants, and peacock pheasants, among others; there are around 35 pheasant species, all told.</p>

Measurements:- 25mm x 22mm (⅞ inches x 1 inches).</p>
<p>Hatching Chick Pin Cushion Silver SEW00004.</p>
<p>This cute and dainty chic chick design is crafted from real sterling silver, a small chick hatching from an egg pin cushion, has been designed in London and made in Britain. Perfect for keeping your pins and needles together, this would make an excellent gift for a beginner or an advanced sewer. This product is finished with care and attention to detail to ensure a premium item for collectors with a discerning taste for object d&#8217;art, and can be passed down throughout family generations.</p>
<p>If you have a hen that loves to go broody every year and will sit on the eggs for the required number of days (21 for chicks), she is the best show in town.<br />
A broody hen will sit on those eggs and keep them warm, even plucking her breast feathers so that the eggs can touch her skin. She will turn those eggs around 50 times every day; she will also talk to the chicks through the shell so that her chicks imprint on her voice and will know who Mama is when they hatch.<br />
Anyone who has seen a broody hen in action knows she will defend her nest with a mothers’ devotion – mind your fingers!<br />
She is also much cheaper and easier than an incubator to operate.<br />
Possibly the only downside to having a hen hatch your chicks for you is that they aren’t quite as friendly to you as they would be coming from an incubator – after all, you aren’t Mama.<br />
If you choose to use an incubator rather than a hen, it does have some advantages, but also requires your attention daily (at least) for 21 days and beyond.<br />
It should maintain a constant temperature between 99-102°F (99.5°F is considered optimal) and a humidity of 50-60%.<br />
So you have to check the temperature and water daily. If your area is prone to power outages, then have a plan B in mind – a couple of hours shouldn’t be too bad but any longer could be disastrous.<br />
When the chicks hatch the first thing they see is you – that makes you Mama. These chicks will be friendlier than hen raised chicks. They will rely on you to water, feed and protect them until they are old enough to be on their own.</p>

<p>Tortoise Pin Cushion Sterling Silver SEW00003.</p>
<p>What is the difference between a tortoise and a turtle? This is a common question that most people ask. Simply put, all turtles are tortoises, but not all tortoises are turtles.</p>
<p>This is a bit confusing and not very descriptive. Here are a few quick tips on telling the differences between these two species.</p>
<p>Turtles live mainly in and around water, spending little time on shore. Tortoises are only land dwellers and can’t swim well, if at all.</p>
<p>Though turtles live primarily in the water, female turtles will come to land to lay their eggs and then return to the sea. The female tortoise may actually stay with her young until they are roughly 8 months old after hatching.</p>
<p>Turtles often have a smoother shell than tortoises so they can slip through the water with ease. Tortoises have large rounded shells that are very heavy which are necessary for protection against land and aerial predators.</p>
<p>Tortoises have stumpy almost elephant-like legs and thick claws for digging. Turtles have slimmer legs and some even have flippers. If they don’t have flippers, turtles will have webbed feet used for swimming.</p>
<p>Tortoises walk on their toes; this is called digitigrade. If they have feet instead of flippers, turtles will walk flat on their feet. This is called plantigrade.</p>
<p>Tortoises are covered in thicker scales, especially along the outer edges of their legs, some will grow spur like scales which are useful to keep predators away. The scales of a turtle are smoother.</p>
<p>Most Tortoises will have a more earthy or dusty coloration to them, this is to help in their camouflage on land, but these colours vary depending on species and breeding. Turtles tend to be more colourful and have a wider variation of colours.</p>
<p>Tortoise Pin Cushion Sterling Silver SEW00003.</p>
<p>This gorgeous little tortoise Pin Cushion, is hand crafted from real sterling silver, it is ideal for a collector of object d&#8217; art, or as a practical sewing gift, the tortoise is finely detailed.</p>
