The pheasants arrive as poults from a rearing farm, are released into very big pens ,half an acre up to five acres and fed pellets some are medicated, water and dust bath areas, all pens have trees of all sizes for roosting and shelter. Panacur is mixed with cooking oil and the feed pellets are coated in this mixture to worm all the poults. The pen gates are opened and the feeders moved to lure the birds to woodland and wheat is slowly introduced as the final feed. Two people on the estate keep chickens , worms or pheasants eating chicken feed is not a problem as the feed areas are far enough away
