I found these images in a search engine for green pheasant but they don't look like yours.

Hi,  I am getting ready to hatch out my first Ringnecks and had a few questions.  How long will they need to stay under a light after hatching? I keep my silkies in the brooder for 8 weeks in the winter, no heat the last two weeks before they go outside.  I have done a lot of reading, but haven't found an answer to that.  Also, how do Ringnecks handle the winter weather?  Will they go inside a coop voluntarily or do they prefer to sleep on a roost outside?   Thanks

 

Sorry, I should have posted in the incubation thread

Sorry for the slow response, I don't come to BYC much anymore.

 

The images you posted are of wild ringnecks, which are different than the domestic ringnecks.

Raising baby pheasants isn't much different than raising chickens as far as brooding. Moving them out from brooders depends on outside temps, pen setup, weather conditions, etc.
