Are these both hens?

Are you sure?They still look a little young,but I think #2 is a male.They look like either green or black melanistics,ringnecks whatever they are calling them now a days.
In N.H.,Tony.

Im guessing both boys because there is COLOR in both. But again it would help to know what kind of pheasant to begin with.

My guess is two hens. Melanistic ringnecks

 

[oleduke]

Some variation of ring-neck I assume. In my opinion, they both appear to be male.

Thanks for the response. I was told they were "green" and just assumed melanistic (someone else picked them up for me). Supposed to have been a pair, but doesn't really matter now as I found the second bird dead today. Not sure what happened as it was fine earlier.

You have 2 melanistic roosters....and Id stick by that 100%...after raising a few hundred ringnecks...even as dayolds I have gotten it down pat when it comes to sexing the birds.

second bird is 100% male no doubt
first could swing, but based off lack of eye patch like the obvious male has, and the white mottled throat patch, NOT solid ring like the obvious male, I'm pretty sure it's going to end up bing a hen. They are both just hen colored right now, the male doesnt look anything like he will this fall.
