Good Morning Cfaure!
This proven method of determining your pheasants age is quite simple,but not exact. First off examine your pheasants wing and pull it outward from its body. From there, you would focus on the outer feathers of the wing the "primaries". If some of the feathers are dull or starting to molt your pheasant is probably old and if they are vibrant and strong you have a young pheasant. Unfortunately, I wouldn't know how to determine its exact age but this is as close as I can get.
Hope this helps,

I agree, Tony. Anybody that has raised and protected a bird that long would be crazy to sell it. IMHOI know 2 people that have had silvers live to 26 years and 24 years and were fertile right to the end..I can't believe anyone would even sell a bird that is that old.
