I have raised many types of birds in the past, but not since I started making videos for YouTube. I plan on doing a small series regarding pheasant as I raise them. I hope to provide some good information for those of you thinking about raising birds and some interesting footage for everyone else. Enjoy!

  • do some chicks die occasionly??????

  • @ahmedlama2 Yeah you can expect to lose around 10%.

  • i got mine from tractor supply, coarse shavings i beleive what they are called, i can see how it would turn ugly if you got fine shavings. do you release your birds from hunting? and where do you get them? the state gives us ours for free as long as we release them for hunting. i was thinking about buying some so i could keep and breed, and then hatch eggs and build up a flock so i could sell them.

  • @davejohnson3 I do release them. I buy them from a local store.

  • ok, i might get the 24 tomorrow, wood chips kill? i get the coarse ground, not the fine, i have seen birds eat the fine chips and it kills them, but have never had a problem in the past 6 years with chips, i usually get around 200 per year on average. i try to keep the temp around 100-102 first few days, then a week or 2 after i usually take out a light and raise the others a bit

  • @davejohnson3 I tried shavings this year as you can see in the video and they were fine enough that the birds were eating them and many died. If you're using actual chips from a wood chipper you may not have that problem, but these shavings have caused significant loss in numbers. In the past I have always used plain paper and had no problems but I switched to shavings on a recommendation from the feed store. I guess they had never raised pheasant themselves because it was a disaster.
