Does any body know a good ringneck pheasant treat

I give my pheasants a mixture of things. I combine dried corn, sunflower seeds, and bird seed all together and they really enjoy that. I also give them leftovers around the house such as: watermelon, cantaloupe, barriers, lettuce, tomatoes and bread. It's all fairly cheap since they are foods that we have around the house/in the garden. And they are foods that are older or pieces that have been cut up.

My DH would give ours bread.

I also give multigrain breads once a wee. Also Oatmeal, fresh fruits,veggies ,once a month cooked rice,beans. Scramble eggs once a week and I mix my purina with flaxseeds and fish oil . I crumble corn too

I have given them the same seed and grain mix I give to the chickens as treats. I also put in rolled oats. I tried whole oats but no one seemed to care for the whole oats but gobbled up the rolled oats. They also get gamebird pellets.

Have anyone tried rolled oats on peanut butter?

I think they are ready at around 16 to 18 weeks.

I hope so! Crossing my fingers!

What happened?

We had a bobcat get into our pheasant pen and wiped out quite a lot of birds. Eventually they all disappeared. The fellow we had gotten eggs from in the past got out of the pheasant raising. Now the coop has been converted to a chick coop.
