Ptobably not. There are 2 varieties of pheas. Chinese and Mongolian. Probably a Chinese variety. They have a lot more white. I shot a chinese pen raised in Idaho years ago.

Yup, those look normal to me. Some of the game farm guys around here have the black ones, and there is no mistaking them.

A few years back I had a few of my Lady Amherst Cocks get out of their pens and head for the hills.
I always hoped some lucky Hunter got a thrill when he went to pick up his downed bird.... instead of some hungry Coyote getting them.

Always makes me wonder what the colors were on a maturing T. Rex as they now think they had feathers
