What Feed to Start Ringneck Pheasents On?

[Bruiserdog99]

right now there on a 22% protein flock raiser i dont know if its a starter my local feed stores dont have much for game birds im just gonna start buying from the mill. My Chicks have done fine on this stuff since they were day old and there growing just fine. Also what do you put them on when there grown just the gamebird feed in like a 22% protein. Thanks!

They should really be on gamebird starter which is 32% protein. You may not have a problem now but you will and their necks will become weak and start to drop if it's not high enough. Also later on you may have problem with eggs if they don't grow properly.
If you have somewhere to buy it in bulk I would do that it's alot cheaper.

I cant find any gamebird starter should i put them on a turkey starter? thats a 30% to a 35% but im not sure if that has the nutrition pheasents need.

Ok heres the feed there on http://mydbsupply.com/index.php/purina-flock-raiser.html was the only stuff i could find in crumbles that was for game birds could you give me a link of the stuff you use. Thanks

Sorry I buy mine 900lbs at a time and have it mixed at a mill so I don't have labels. If you find something that isn't crumbles you can always make it into crumbles it just takes work.
