What makes the price of live game vary

A game price can only be compared at equal age, strain and format. Six factors explain most of the differences in the price list, and in the final quote.

Age
The longer the bird stays on the farm, the more it costs: €11.60 for a 14-week poult, €14.90 for an adult of at least 20 weeks, and +€0.55 for each additional week of age for a poult delivered beyond 14 weeks. The same logic applies to red-legged partridge: €10.30 at 14 weeks, €11.40 as an adult.
Strain
FAISAN PUR CHASSE®: €13.50 as a poult and €19.00 as an adult, against €11.60 and €14.90 in the common strain. The difference pays for natural reproduction in aviaries and rearing in large planted aviaries (details below).
Sex
Mixed lot (50% cocks / hens): €14.90. Cock only: €16.50, because a lot of cocks requires individual sexing and unbalances our pens.
Quantity
Prices decrease with quantity: the volume discount is set in the quote, based on the number of birds, the strain, the age, the period and the delivery location. There is no minimum order.
Season
Poults from June to August, adult partridges from August to December, young mallards in June and adults in August. August and September are our busiest months: what is not booked is not necessarily available.
Transport
Prices are ex-farm, carriage extra. Collection at Chatte, by appointment, avoids transport; for delivery, the cost depends on distance and volume, and falls when orders are grouped on the same delivery round.

FAISAN PUR CHASSE®: what the price difference pays for

As an adult, the FAISAN PUR CHASSE® costs €19.00 − €14.90 = €4.10 more than a common pheasant; as a 14-week poult, €13.50 − €11.60 = €1.90.

This difference pays for a way of rearing: natural breeding in the aviary (natural mating and brooding, with no artificial insemination or mechanical incubation), large planted aviaries of over 10 000 m², feeding on insects and cereals grown on the farm, regular flushing with pointing dogs. The result: fast take-off, sustained flight and the ability to take cover again.

Produced in limited quantities, the strain should be booked early. Full details on the FAISAN PUR CHASSE® page; to compare strains, see our guide choosing your pheasant strain.

Ordering: deposit, payment, transport and guarantee

These rules summarise our general terms and conditions of sale, which are authoritative. To book, call 04 76 38 31 01 or request your quote.

Written order and 30% deposit
The order is registered on receipt of your written order (letter or e-mail), accompanied by a deposit of 30% of the price including VAT.
Payment before departure
Unless otherwise agreed, collection or dispatch of the game requires immediate payment of the full price before departure.
Net prices including VAT at 5.5%
Prices are firm while stocks last, barring printing errors; in view of rising raw material prices, GIBIS reserves the right to change them at any time.
Carriage extra, crates to be returned
Prices are ex our warehouses in Chatte (38160), with transport invoiced separately. The crates remain at GIBIS's disposal: if they are not returned, a charge of €5 including VAT is invoiced.
Indicative lead times
Delivery times are given for guidance only and depend on the date the order is received; an unforeseeable delay, or one caused by the carrier, gives rise neither to cancellation of the order nor to the payment of compensation or penalties.
Live arrival guaranteed
Check the game in the presence of the driver, record any mortality on the delivery note and notify us on 04 76 38 31 01 within 24 hours: dead game not reported on the delivery note is not refunded. Game you keep in captivity yourself is no longer guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pheasant prices

What is the price of a live pheasant for hunting?
At GIBIS, an adult hunting pheasant of at least 20 weeks costs €14.90 each in the common, melanistic or Chinese strain, €16.50 for a cock only and €19.00 in the FAISAN PUR CHASSE® strain. A 14-week poult costs €11.60 (€13.50 in PUR CHASSE®), plus €0.55 for each additional week of age. Prices include VAT, ex-farm at Chatte (Isère), decrease with quantity and are confirmed on quotation.
What is the price of a common pheasant?
The adult common pheasant of at least 20 weeks costs €14.90 each in a mixed lot (50% cocks / hens) and €16.50 for a cock only. For a summer return to the wild, the 14-week US cross poult costs €11.60 each.
Why does a cock on its own cost more than a mixed lot?
Because a lot of cocks only requires individual sexing and unbalances our pens: the price goes from €14.90 in a mixed lot to €16.50 for a graded cock, in common pheasant as in Chinese pheasant.

VAT, quantity and terms

Do the prices include VAT and transport?
VAT, yes: our prices are net including VAT at 5.5%. Transport, no: prices are ex our warehouses in Chatte (38160), carriage extra. You can collect your birds from the farm by appointment; for delivery, the cost depends on distance and volume. Transport crates must be returned: if they are not, a charge of €5 including VAT is invoiced.
Is there a quantity discount?
Yes. Catalogue prices apply to small quantities; as the volume increases, the unit price falls. The volume discount is set in the quote, based on the number of birds, the strain, the age, the period and the delivery location. There is no minimum order, and joint orders between neighbouring hunting clubs reduce the cost of transport.
Do I have to pay when I order?
A deposit of 30% of the price including VAT accompanies your written order, by letter or e-mail: the order is registered when we receive it. Unless otherwise agreed, the balance is paid immediately, before the game leaves, whether you collect it from the farm or we dispatch it.
Are the prices shown guaranteed for the whole season?
Our prices are firm while stocks last, barring printing errors. In view of rising raw material prices, our general terms and conditions of sale reserve to us the right to change them at any time: ask for a quote to find out the price of your order.
Do these prices apply to pheasant for eating?
No. GIBIS does not sell game for the table: we rear live game for hunting and restocking. The price of an oven-ready pheasant, sold by a poulterer or a butcher, belongs to a different market.
