red golden hen?

[pbjmaker]

This is the sole survivor of a June 6th hatch. She? lives with my silkie chick. Excuse my unmade bed

Just verifying that she is a she and a red golden.

With her best bud ( they will be separated as soon as they go outside)

I don't know if it's a hen.The iris looks a little light to me,but it could be a bad angle.

Looks like a cock bird to me.

Do they start getting the eye patches around 8 weeks old like the ringnecks? I could start telling who were the boys were in the batch of ringneck X's around this age. S/he is about 7 weeks now.

It's the iris,around the eye ball not around the eye itself.This birds iris looks to be greyish.This makes it a male.The females iris would be brown.

I will go look at her - I know the camera can mess with colors sometimes. so grey = male and brown = female. S/he is not actually as gold as the camera makes her look either. The feathers are a little more dull with the exception of his/her tail.

ETA: In "real life" they are definitely a golden brown - no grey in them at all.

I have three golden pheasants, and they are scardy cats! I know that the woman we bought them from said that a brown eyed pheasant is a girl, and the blueish eyed are boys. So if im not mistaken then that little pheasant (which is adorable by the way) is a girl.

You better take a closer look.I can see gray around the iris,not brown.

this would be a female....notice under the eye there is no bald tear drop looking thing




there is a male and if you can see the bald spot that looks like a teardrop directly under its eye...not sure y the picture is not all the way done...this is just what people have shared with me hope this helps
