age at which you can sex ringnecks

[the1much]

is there a " quicker" way of telling the sex of ringneck pheasants earlier then waiting for their color?,, with my goldens, i had to wait till their eyes changed colors,,, is there a trick like that fer ringnecks.

 

[deerman]

Oh yes can sex at day old, not that hard. See if I have pics around.

Yep nice pic, show the males wattles, show up on day old.

1much with ringneck, you can run a ratio 1 rooster to 8 hen. Better for the hens. I do that and still get 85% hatch rate or higher.


What color of ringnecks do you have?

 

[the1much]

im not sure,, she didnt specify what kind of ringnecks they were,, but i got 25 of them , and 60 or so guineas for $90 ,,,, so i didnt asked too many ?'s and RUN outta there ,,hehe
