Does any one know how to sex baby pheasants ?

[fancyfowl4ever]

I heard that males have a pale brown eye and females have a darker brown one but this could be for just golden pheasants, but try anyway

That only works with lady amherst and goldens as far as I am aware. It hasn't worked with my ringnecks.....​

YEA THE BUMP ISN'T ALWAYS RIGHT. BUT WITH THE LUCK I HAVE HATCHING I ALWAYS HATCH BETWEEN 75% TO 90% ROOSTERS.

Here is a picture and description I found on McFarlane Pheasants website:

"Sometimes the chicks are separated according to their gender when being sent to the farm or to our customers. We look for the start of a waddle by gently pulling down on the skin under the lower jaw of the bird. Hens tend to have a dark band under the eye and no waddle present."

I live in Israel on a Moshav and very interested in raising Golden Chinese Pheasants. Is there anyone out there who can help me find a starting pair or two here in Israel. [email protected] Thank you

Herd you can sex them by pulling a few feathers or twice and then after the second pull it shows there adult plumage. Any one know anything about this.
