IMPRINTED/tamed Golden pheasants?

Do ringnecks come in platinum?

I know nothing about all their mutations. @007Sean can tell us.

When I bought Golden Pheasants the breeder I bought it from had Golden pheasants that we’re actually tamed and free ranged and I could even see them out in the pastures and being hand fed. It is possible but you have to hand tame them as chicks but there is still a good chance that they may go back to their wild instincts and wander away especially during breeding season.

I got mine about 4 months of age they were feral not even a month later they will eat from my hands so its fairly easy.

Has anyone had luck with taming a golden pheasant To almost the same level of a pet chicken? I’ve seen this imprinting thing with ducks and geese and peafowl but never a golden pheasant

Yes, you should be the first thing a newly incubator hatched chick sees. Then just respectfully handle the bird as it grows and they become as tame as chickens. Fly to you, roost on you, feed from you, etc. never grab it aggressively, net it or chase it then it will loose trust. As an imprinted bird roosters may be aggressive towards u seasonally or not, depends. Hens will scold you if they do not want interaction also.
