How to sex peach golden pheasants

[Sam - poultry enthusiast]

We have peach goldens hatched this year. The parents were absolutely beautiful.
We are looking for advice on sexing them. Thanks in advance, Sam

It's real simple to sex Golden pheasants. The males will have a wattle or a 'tear drop' under its eyes. Females will not. The Ruff pheasants, Goldens and Lady Amherst, can be sexed from day one if you know what to look for and have good eye sight.
I'm at work right now, but I'll post pics when I get home. How old are your birds?

Here's some pics of 1day old male and female Golden pheasant chicks. Also a 4 month old male Golden pheasant. Males will have a bare spot of skin below the eyes that will become the wattles. Females will lack this feature.

1day old male Golden pheasant chick, notice the wattle below the eye.

1 day old female Golden pheasant chick. Notice the lack of wattle under the eye.

4 month old male Golden pheasant. Wattle will be very evident by this age. Also notice the change in eye color from brown to blueish.

@007Sean do you have any idea on where to get some peach or some breeders to reserve eggs for spring?

Sorry I do not...I have 2 trios but not selling eggs or birds. Also, have a pair of Peach Splash Goldens.
