Pheasant Feed Consumption

[chicks for better health]

I am thinking about raising 300 pheasants this year for a hunting guide.

How much space does each grown bird require?

How much feed should I expect to go through?

 

[ticks]

It is estimated that one pheasant will go through 12 pounds a month. Maybe a little more. that's 3,600 pounds a month.

Pheasants need approximatley 15-20 sq. feet per bird, thoguh bigger is better. I reccommend 25-30 feet per bird.

You have to check with your state fish and game for the requirments.Each state is different.The feed consumpsion that ticks gave you sounds close.That is a lot of feed for 1 month.Will it be worth it for you?I would hold 20 or so hens and 2 roosters back from each year for next years production.

I was looking into this because I had an offer to buy 300 at $7-9 each at 20 weeks. I think I would be able to make money, but not much being that I am not setup at this time.

I passed the order on to a friend of mine.

Thanks for all your imput
