2023 Day Old Pheasant Chick Program

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation will again be distributing pheasant chicks to eligible applicants through the Day-Old Pheasant Chick Program (DOCP) for the spring of 2023! Much of this programs’ success comes from the hard work and cooperation of county cooperative extension agents and 4-H program leaders across the state. Please see the documents listed below for important guidance and changes to the program for 2023.
