Pheasants...when should they get released?
Ok so i incubated pheasants for my biology project and right now they are 3 weeks old. When can i release them into the wild...? I have alot of marsh and woods out by me and i don't have any pheasant hunters out by me at all. The pheasants are already skittish when it comes to people so i don't think they will have a problem with being attatched to people. They also try and forage for food in their pen by pecking at the straw and stuff. I just want to know when they should be old enough to release cause they already pretty much take care of themselves...i just check on them a few times a day so yea...please help me!

you shouldnt release them.
but if you have to, make shore the area is HUGE, they need enouth room to run from preditores without going into ares with humans. the area should be full of trees a bushes so they can hide and look for food.It should also have a water supply like a large dam or lake.
you can realese them from 4 months of age but it is better to wait atleast 6 months.but thirst make shure they know how to look fore food like worms in the dirt and feed them berries so they can get used to there natural food.realeas them at a area near a water supply and has lots of bery bushes.
make shure they get used to sleep outside or they could die from the tempreture change.
hope i healped
