I am looking into raising pheasants. Does anyone have any pointers on raising pheasants?
thanks,

Give them food with high protein-simulates what they would eat in the wild. I have a few in my barn; they don't need much maintenance. You can put roosting bars if you please. I can't think of anything else other than food. They're really like chickens except they're timider. Over time, they'll start to get used to you. Lastly, I'd clip their wings (just in case if they escape or somehow manage to get out, they can fly fairly well.

What species are you planning to raise?

Take whatever you know about chickens and throw it out when it comes to pheasants. They are completely different birds.

And I'll add, do not raise pheasants anywhere near chickens. Chickens have diseases that they can tolerate but will kill pheasants.
