Hen pheasants raise and train their young by leading them to food sources and teaching them to forage shortly after they hatch. The chicks are precocial, meaning they are relatively mature and mobile, so the hen guides them to safe areas and shows them how to find seeds and insects. She also uses vocalizations to communicate and keep her brood together, providing protection from predators. Throughout their early development, she remains vigilant, ensuring their safety until they can fend for themselves.

Yes, pheasants do leave their young as they grow older. After hatching, the chicks are precocial, meaning they can walk and forage for food shortly after birth. The mother, known as a hen, typically cares for them for several weeks but eventually becomes less involved as the chicks mature and gain independence. By the time they are about 6 to 8 weeks old, the young pheasants can fend for themselves and are often left to navigate their environment independently.
