Update on Bloadpheasants and their chicks in Belgium
Young bloadpheasant are being kept together with young grouse and tragopans. Though much smaller in size and body weigth, bloadpheasant chicks grow quite well in this kind of humane environment. Bloads have been kept together with black grouse, spruce, blue, prairie chicken and several other members of the tetraonidae family.
They do also quite well with young Cabot's tragopans, which are known to be quite cannibalistic.
Bloadpheasants, though the smallest chicks, seem to be the most dominant and vivid. Young Bloadpheasants are fast growers and easy to maintain in captivity.
