Yes they grow back, I'm not sure with tail feathers but I know wing feathers take around 2 months.

Late summer early fall

They'll grow back before molt. I have a juvenile male that lost every tail feather and a month later this is the result. He was the wildest of the juvenile males I have, and tried to bolt out of his pen. I grabbed his tail without thinking to keep him from getting outside and pulled them out. It was unfortunate, but these things happen. Since then I have spent extra time with him, feeding him treats etc., and now he is much tamer. This is about one months growth in the photo ...

what breed of pheasants he is??

He is a Red Golden male. He isn't old enough to have all his colors yet. It takes 1.5 to 2 years for them to have all the adult feathers and be bright & pretty
