The breeding season in the northern hemisphere is from March – April. The female will lay up to 1 – 2 eggs a day until she has a clutch of around 8 -12 eggs which she then incubates for 22 – 23 days. Moms are noted for not being the greatest at incubating or caring for hatchlings.

The Golden pheasant is considered at least threat due to its widespread global range.
