is it a PHICKEN?

[spikennipper]

Yes it's def just a normal wild male pheasant with just alot of feathering missing from its neck and rump area.

It looks like it's going through a molt. The back doesn't look like it's missing feathers, some have more grey/silver than others.

It's a young pheasant hen -- we have them all around here in Idaho too
