Hello! New to the pheasant life and wondering if I have girls or boys... also any advice is welcome!

If it’s the same two birds in all the pictures, then you have boys. @007Sean, am I correct?

The male has a small bare patch of skin underneath it's eye, the females do not! Plus, the male's eyes are starting to change color from brown to a whiteish/yellowish color. Hens eye color will not change, will always be brown.

I only knew about the eye colors. I see the patch now.
