So i am getting 2 baby pheasents april 30th to raise to be let go on gamelands for school. And ive sucessfully raised ducks i know their diffrent. And i have a few questions...
-Bedding
-Cage temp
-Wired cage or closed cage
-feed (I only have tractor supply thats close)
-water (add electrolyte or something else or none)
-Anything else that can be added please do!!
I want to sucessfully have these babies grow up, apparently in the past the teacher even had them die on him... So i would like to prove him wrong and that i can do this!!
Thank you so much!

Really no one can help they come in one 1/2 days!!!

bedding- shavings with paper towel over them for the first few days.
temp- 90ish to start. I drop temps a lot faster based on outside wether and how they act.
Wired cage or closed cage- what?
feed- high protein game bird starter, at least 28%
water- water, that is all. unless they look stressed from travel.
Give them plenty of room and keep the brooder covered. They like to jump/fly.

Like i have a wired cage that is like a rabbit cage i used for the ducks, and i also had like a huge tubber wear container which is like a sold no holes just an open top... And thanks for the tip with the paper towel, it helped them alot! And they came home a day early.... And omg, can you say adorable! I didnt think something could be so small! And hoppy! I dont want to let go of them and ive only had them for a few hours... Heres a pic
Their in the bottom of the wired cage which dosent have the holes, thankfully. They are just so tiny!
