Ring-necked pheasants live in fertile areas with thick cover like small grain fields of wheat, oats, barley, and corn, as well as large open fields of tall grass. They eat grains like corn and oats as well as berries, and are preyed upon by predators such as foxes, coyotes, and humans. Females lay between 14-20 small, white, hard-shelled eggs each year and have a high hatching success rate of around 90%. Pheasants are commonly found throughout the plains states and Midwest regions where there is an abundance of grain production and open prairie land.
