    My father told me he seen about 8 pheasant poults this morning walk out onto the road from the field opposite my house and when he went over they ran about 40 yards down the field and took off flying he said none of them had even got any colour in there feathers yet so the must have been fairly young. I was wander has anyone ever seen pheasant poults this late in the year?

    I've seen poults in an even earlier state of development about 6 weeks ago on a friends' farm, not one but two clutches. One clutch was four the other six. If the hard weather doesn't set in too early they have a decent chance since the place os still in stubble with plenty of grub around. A bit of mild frost will do them no harm as long as they can keep dry and have enough grub.
