Gender of pheasant

[d1tzl]

Could anyone possible identify the gender of this 3 week old ring neck pheasant?

Thank-you in advance.

Isn't that rather presumptuous to give it a binary gender, I thought we were supposed to ask it what is would like to identify as (it may even like to identify as none or non binary!).

I've asked they, but I dont speak Pheasant.

Sorry, I thought I was being rather clever in my answer!!!

I’d guess hen! But it’s a bit early to know for definite, any sign of Spurs?

This was a cock that identified as a hen

i was told that you can sex the chicks by a line/mark in the pupil?

Tell it to start a account on here and make a pretty vague, open thread, there seems to be a few members on here who can sniff a female out at a thousand yards!

Pick it up and shake it??

had him stuffed, never seen one like him

A fair few hens get identified as cocks on a cock only day. A large fine usually reduces the misidentification ,

If there is doubt about the gender of a weight lifter, surely we can extend the same rights to any other bird?

Its a hen id say. The female head has a slight slope, the male has a more blocked head profile. Think that is the right way around

How soon do you need to know?
