5 week old ringneck pheasant

[Butchers Wife]

I'd like to help but I don't know how. I'd not put any more pheasants in that cage until it's been disinfected. I just use plastic storage bins for small hatches, and troughs for large hatches (with wire mesh covers to protect from mice, cats, dogs, chickens, etc). Do you have chlorinated water or do you use a water softener (salt)? How many gallons of water do they have access to while you're away. My pheasants probably drink more than they eat. Adults eat 1 pound a week and easily drink more than a gallon a week, but I don't track it. Do you use a drip system? Is it harboring something nasty? Is your feed kept dry? Is it nutritionally sufficient? Best practices are to move from youngest to oldest in your daily chores as the youngest are more susceptible to anything the adults are carrying. What do you have on the floor? If it's something you bought switch it out for whatever you can shovel out of your backyard and vice versa. Sunlight and fresh air is a great disinfectant.
