T T is said by people of experience who keep pheasants 

 -*■ enclosed for the purpose of breeding, that the young 

 pheasants become weaker every year. That is, if the 

 stock birds are always enclosed and never have their 

 liberty. Of course, it depends a great deal upon the 

 circumstances under which they are kept. Some breeders 

 will keep their birds in very small pens where all the 

 grass is worn down. 



Pheasants, above all other birds, should be penned so 

 that they can get plenty of grass.
