Is a female chicks yellow?
No. all chicks do not start out yellow. The chicks you see in advertising pictures and in magazines are photographed more often for a number of reasons. The yellow balls of fluff are cuter than a mottled brown/ white or all black chick. More distinguishable as the "chick" the general public expects to see. The majority of chicks hatched in spring (Easter) by hatcheries are of a certain breed (a cross between a Plymouth rock and a leghorn) and usually used for meat production. A bit ironic that the advertising media has chosen the cute photogenic chick with the shortest lifespan for an icon.

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.

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.
