i have two red golden and two yellow golden pheasants. i'm still confused about telling the sex of them. i cannot dig up any youg pheasant pictures on the net anywhere to compare. i cannot believe nobody has kept a photo journal of these yet. i guess i will have to do one with my next hatch. i know they can be sexed by eye color, but that seems to come into play at a later age. i keep reading that there are slight differences between male and female at a young age though, but nothing i find says what exactly those differences actually are. mine all look the same at around 8 weeks old, so i either have all male, all female, or ? anyone have any pics of these around that age so i can look for any differences?
 
lmao...true, but i wanted to find out soon so if i have all males i can find someone to possibly trade for a female, or at least get more eggs to hatch.
 
well, i think i found my confusion. all four of mine are male

i found pictures showing the eye color difference. mine are all a light tan(ish) color. not brown. crap! now i need to find someone with females and make a trade. i only wanted one male!
 
I would love for you to post the pics that you found showing eye color because I am having trouble sexing mine as well. Mine are around 2 1/2 months old and I need to start thinning out my babies as well.
