Efficient golden pheasant farming requires attention to three-stage management
The golden pheasant farm should be located in a flat, sunny, wind-sheltered, well-drained, dry and quiet place. Generally, a combination of indoor housing and an outdoor exercise yard is used for rearing, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of golden pheasants, and the plumage color is also more brilliant. Perches should be set up in the exercise yard and on the indoor racks, so that the golden pheasants can adapt to perching on the racks.
