determining pheasant chick male/female..

[birdlover]

hi,
i'll show you the picture tomorrow, i will take me some time to get the male up close to the camera, i'll probably give him some greens to get up close, do you need to see the hen too or just the male?

Ring-necked is just the proper terminology...

Ring-necked is just the proper terminology...

Actually, it's a "True Pheasant".
(genus Phasianus)

P. colchicus : Common Pheasant

hi,
PheasantHollow Farm:
when you said that its not correct to  say ring neck, but ring-necked pheasant,  explain why   magnumhntr on his website www.mmgamebirds.com sez the same thing as me?

You continue to type ringneck It is Ring-necked Pheasant.. as in Manchurian or Chinese.

Are you guys seriously arguing about the proper spelling of ring-necked pheasant?

  It's actually more of a remedial citizenship class, than a spelling lesson.

hey, heres an update on my ring-necked pheasant chicks

The chicks are doing well, their already a week old and have their feathers coming out.  They can fly now so i have to be extra careful when i change their water, clean the brooder, etc... They sure do grow up real fast.  Its looks like i might be having a male chick in my opinion, because the tail feathers on this chick are growing more and longer than the other chick i have, so i thought since male ring-necked pheasants have longer tails than the females that it could possibly be true in chicks too.  I can't believe i succeeded in brooding pheasants.... i'm proud of myself!

You have not succeeded in brooding until they are out of the brooder.  The longer feathers do not make a difference.

hi,
yes i do understand what your saying mtbullion gamebirds, i meant to say so far the chicks are looking good and are getting a good start. I strongly think that these chicks will do very well, as compared to a good diet, clean fresh water, room, etc.. that they need to grow properly.
