i currently have a pheasant chick i believe is about 3 days old that we rescued as he was half dead from hypothermia after his mother had been attacked by something and gone off with half her tail missing, we managed to round up the others and the mother took them into the gorse bushes but by the time we managed to bring this little one round they had gone.
He really was on deaths door when we found him poor thing but he seems to be doing well now in his little makeshift brooder box.

does anyone know how to sex a ringnecked pheasant chick? id just like to know what he(or she) is

You guys are awesome. I'm very impressed that you managed to bring him back around, and then you're willing to raise him on top of that. You guys sure are wonderful people. The world needs more like you!

Girls will have a white pattern on their primaries that comes down to the rachis.
Males may also have a pattern but it is shaped different, more like a wedge. i cant tell from your picture, maybe if you get a wing shot?

they are very wriggly, and they will never warm up to you.
