What kind of environmental conditions are needed for raising pheasants
What kind of environment is needed for pheasant farming? For a pheasant farm, you should look for a place with dry, gently sloping terrain, facing the sun and sheltered from the wind, and relatively speaking it is best if it is quiet. The pheasant coop requirements are similar to those for domestic chicken coops. The size and area of the coop can be determined according to the scale of raising. The coop can be converted from unused old houses, pig pens, cattle sheds, or extra space in front of and behind the house, with walls on three sides and one side open, and a certain exercise yard should be left outside the open side.
The ground of the pheasant exercise yard should have a certain slope to help with drainage, and the ground should be level. It is best to make it a concrete floor for easy cleaning. Around the exercise yard, brick columns about 1.8 m high can be built, and netting can be added on top and around the sides. Wire mesh can be used for the netting, or nylon netting can be used instead. When installing the netting, a low wall base 30-100 cm high can be built around the perimeter, and then the netting installed on it. This can both extend the service life of the netting and make the exercise yard neat and attractive.
Because breeding pheasants must be raised with males and females separated before mating, at least two coops should be built or converted. At the same time, feed troughs, water troughs, and so on should also be prepared inside the coop. The feed troughs can be made to order from wooden strips, generally 1 m long, 5 cm wide, and 5 cm high. Large-mesh iron netting or small wooden strips can be fixed on the trough to prevent the pheasants from entering the feed trough. Plastic basins or other containers can be used instead of water troughs. If conditions permit, special tower drinkers can be purchased. Because pheasants very much like dust bathing, a sand pit can be set up in the exercise yard, or a large plastic basin filled with sand can be placed in the exercise yard. Care should be taken to keep the sand clean and dry.
