Sexing Pheasants

[ModernGamer]

I currently have 6 1 month old ring neck pheasant chicks that my brother and I hatched in our incubator and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on sexing them accurately. Thank You

At about 2 months age you will begin to see the wattles on the males starting to form.

Here's a pic of a 2 month old male ring-necked pheasant. As you can see the wattle's are starting to show!

Thank you for that and do you think there could possibly tame one down ? I mean I’ve saw a video where the guy had raised by hand but do you think it would be very hard

Ring-necked pheasants Don't tame down much, some of mine aren't flighty and some are, just depends on the particular bird.
Most of the True pheasants are very flighty, instinct is still very much intact.
The Ruff pheasants are much more docile. Much easyer to tame, where they will eat out of your hand.
