They sure are cool looking. I will never forget one of my buddies from high school claimed he shot a “black pheasant” and had it mounted. It clearly looked like a hen. He said it cackled when it got up. Not too sure about that. It didn’t look anything like your photos, just a dark colored hen to me. He even swore that a game warden checked him with it. Skeptical.
I saw a pile of those black pheasants (wild) hanging out in some CRP land I hunted in NoDak, a couple years ago. Very cool birds.
Roost in trees and made a racket in the morning, when they flew down.
Funny stuff.
Does your brother live any where near Zumbro Falls or Mazzepa.? … rrr
I believe they are referred as melanistic mutants. Bred in Europe.

rrr – yep, in-between ZF and Mazzepa.
Well I guess i mite know where he lives then, cause I almost went in the ditch when I did a double triple take when I saw one of those black ones the other day. … rrr
Last week when I was at the game farm they told me they released a black pheasant for me but I never saw it and I flushed my 6 birds.
