My initial thought reading this was the tail feathers were frozen to the ground during this last rain/heavy snow event. I've seen pheasants froze in place. I did an AI search that confirmed this as one scenerio. Freezing rain was toward the top of the list. Other possibilities were poor quality food, muddy conditons. Pheasants start to molt in June and completed in September. Clayton Will Madrid
