Hello, I am interested in stocking my property with Pheasant. Was wondering how much they run?

I guess you are aware that pheasant chicks won't have the color you expect, it will start coloring in the second year.

When these chicks arrive, take them out of the shipping box and dip their beaks in water. Most chicks die since they do not start to eat or drink. Always refill water so that they don't run out of water. Put them under the heat lamp. Maintaining a temp of 70-80 deg F will ensure a good growing environment.

Disinfect the cage area before putting the birds in. During the first week, inspect the chicks more often  – especially at night.

Allow chicks to run around in a larger pen in addition to the cage once they are 2 to 3 weeks old. This allows them to get more exercise. The pen should be made out of chicken wire to protect them from predators.
