Lady Amherst's pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae) is a bird of the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae.

Lady Amherst chicks tend to be easy to rear. They are tough, normally eat well and usually mix with other species without many problems while still young. By the time they are a few months old sometimes the occasional Amherst cock may become more dominant in a pen of mixed pheasants and start becoming a nuisance. We find when this happens, on occasion, we can usually add them in with young Reeves or Eared Pheasants which aren't likely to stand any nonsense from a bullish Amherst. When rearing pheasants you soon learn to be vigilant and act fast before disaster happens.
