Pheasant Experts - Any Way to Sex these Silver Pheasant Chicks yet?

[chickenzoo]

I forgot to ask the age of these chicks. Can you tell yet what sex they are. Any tips for Silvers, Red Golden & Lady A before eye color changes? What age should the eyes change at?
Thanks..........

Hopefully someone will answer this as I'm wondering this too... I have 1 that is a bit younger than the ones you have pictured.

It takes about 6 months before you can sex silvers and then you may not be sure.They are very hard to sex.

I was hoping their was some secret way to tell, he he

watch the eye patch, a cocks will be larger and more noticable than an hens, but color is the only sure fire way to tell, on ruffed pheasants, golds and amherst, you can tell at just a few days by eye colors, the boys will be getting a gold ring around the iris on goldens, white on the amherst, hens will always be solid brown
Hope that helped a bit.

Tony is right, Silvers are tough to sex this young. Wait a few more months, you'll know then!!
