A Guide To Pheasant Feed

If you want to keep pheasants, feed them. It's quite crucial to keep them in really, really good condition. I'd recommend for your adult birds, pellets, preferably a pheasant pellet but poultry growers will be adequate.

Three quarters, at least, of that with probably one quarter mixed wheat, something like that. The pheasants need to be fed, ideally, twice a day. First, you'd feed the pellets and then the evening, feed the wheat.

It takes longer to digest. The birds are going to keep warm on the perch for longer in the evening with the wheat rather than with pellets. If you're rearing young pheasant's, a pheasant starts on a crumb, then on to a grower's pellet and then, onto probably a maintenance ration for the winter.

If you're feeding ornamental pheasants, the food is slightly different from your normal covet pheasant in that it had a lot more tidbits. I personally use a power keet mix, a handful of that in the evening per a pair of birds or something like that. More choice is possible, lots of vegetable matter.

Most household scraps even, they will consume but you have to be careful that they do actually like it and it doesn't just lie around rotting. Apples are good. They'll eat a lot of that.

Basically, whatever the pheasant's like as long as it's not in too great a quantity, the greater variance of food, the better. You'd purchase your pheasant foods and crumb and mixed corn from your local store. Usually, a good place to go to is somewhere that does a lot of horse feed, bedding, et cetera.

They will usually supply, a good country store will usually supply the basic requirements for keeping your pheasants. And that's a guide to pheasant feed. .
