How to select high-quality pheasants? A few practical tips for you

Spots 
    The color of good and poor pheasants is basically the same, with little difference. Females are mostly light ochre, and males are mostly a mix of seven colors: red, blue, green, purple, black, white and brown. However, the black-and-white spots on good and poor pheasants differ in size: those on good ones are large and sparse, evenly arranged, about the size of a peanut kernel, while those on poor ones are small and dense, about the size of a soybean. Feathers: the feathers of good pheasants look soft and thick, giving a feeling of tender, soft meat. The feathers of poor pheasants look tight and thin, giving a feeling of firm, hard meat. Shape: under normal rearing, good pheasants of the same age are larger than poor ones. As for age, the beak, head, body, feet and tail differ; the younger the bird, the rounder the head and body, and the shorter the beak, feet and tail. 

Age 
    Do not believe the saying that the older or younger the better. If too young, they find it hard to adapt to environmental changes and still require cost to raise; if too old, the rearing period is short and aging comes early. Both are uneconomical. The best way to tell them apart is to observe from the head, beak, body, feet and tail. 

Male-to-female ratio 
    The scientific male-to-female ratio is 1:3. Too many males causes waste; too few results in a low fertilization rate of breeding eggs.
