No-one should be afraid of trying to rear a few pheasants or partridges - the procedure is not complicated. Experienced people are obviously likely to get better results, but anyone should do well provided they are careful to supply the right conditions and maintain a good standard of cleanliness and husbandry. As the scale of the rearing excercise increases, so does the scope for problems. Large and intensive units can keep rearing costs down but only do so when a high standard of management is maintained.
