The beautiful Red Golden Pheasant is one of the most popular of all the ornamental pheasant species kept in captivity. It is very hardy, easy to keep and great for beginners. The Golden has been kept in captivity since as early as 1700 and perhaps was the first type of pheasant brought to North America. Some historians say that George Washington may have kept them at Mt. Vernon! For being so well known and familiar in captivity, very little is known of their them in their wild habits. They were originally discovered in the thick mountainous bamboo forests of central China. When you are building you pen you should keep that in mind. This species makes up the group of pheasants called the Ruffed Pheasants, genus Chrysolophus. They are named for their cape or ruff which they spread around their face and neck during courtship. The males are brilliantly colored having a golden-yellow crest with a hint of red at the tip. The face, throat, chin, and the sides of neck are rusty tan. The wattles and orbital skin are both yellow in color, and the ruff or cape is light orange. The upper back is green and the rest of the back and rump are golden-yellow in color. The tertiary's are blue where as the scapulars are dark red. Another characteristic of the male plumage is the central tail feathers which are black spotted with cinnamon as well as the tip of the tail being a cinnamon buff. The upper tail coverts are the same color as the central tail feathers. Males also have a scarlet breast, and scarlet and light chestnut flanks and under parts. Lower legs and feet are a dull yellow. The males do not acquire their beautiful colors until their second year, first year cocks are often fertile. Up to four hens can be bred to a mature cock with good fertility. The hen, as in most pheasants, has a much duller coloration than the male. At first site, she is an overall refocus brown with dark barring and a buff face and throat. The breast and sides are a barred buff and blackish brown. Her abdomen is a plain buff which varies from hen to hen. Both sexes have yellow legs and bill. |
| Warning, when buying Red Golden's or Lady Amherst just remember all are not created equal. Some breeders over the years have bred other types of pheasants into them, or have crossbred the Red Golden's with the Lady Amherst, so they are not pure bred birds and this will show in their adult plumage.
