Sexing pheasants?

[ColtHandorf]

I'm glad Sean popped in. I couldn't sex a juvenile pheasant if the fate of the free world depended on it. But that's who I was going to tag to help out.

Howdy Amber,

Hard to tell at this age....at 3 to 4 months, you should be able to see the wattles appearing on the face of males.
I don't know which bird is which in the pics but this one looks like it may be male...can kinda see the wattle starting around it's eye.

Could be Aspergillosis? The bedding's dust could contain the spores of the fungus Asperigillus ssp.
There is no treatment, only a strict sanitation protocol can help prevent the disease from manifesting in brooders.

Whoever told you that is wrong...that chick is too young to have gapeworm and more than likely hasn't been exposed to any sources of infection.
