? to Pheasant Breeders

« on: October 07, 2005, 07:06:19 PM »

Okay folks!

I have been raising Manchurian Ring-necks since 2001. My question is, Have any of you out there had a hen after her 2nd year molt, change into a she/he?

My 2001 breeder hen has a faint white ring around her neck and is more mottled in color then the standard color of a ring-necked hen. Her tail is longer then the standard hen.

Now I have a 2004 hatched Manchurian Ring-necked hen just after her first year molt, changing colors also like the first hen but following suite, as the 2001 that change on me in 2003.

Out of 240 Manchurian Ring-necked Pheasant hens what are the chances, and what will they look like in the next molt.

I don't have any way of posting the pictures otherwise I would. If someone would like to post them for me, email me and I will send the pictures of the 2 hens. One will be a 2001 hen and the other will be a 2004 hen.
