Feather found on chicken coop

+1
−0

I live in the southern part of Zealand, in Denmark. I assembled a chicken coop yesterday, and found this feather on top of the egg-collection box lid this morning. I have been unable to find out which bird this feather is off of using google. any hints are much appreciated.

Timeframe is between 22:00 and 09:00. I am thinking that it is not a pheasant, but a raptor. as to which raptor, I am on rock bottom...

It took a while to find, partly because I was sure this would turn out to be an owl. Also, it seems like you already had your own answer before this. However, to complete the loop here, I do see a match between your photo and the third or fourth feather shown here: https://www.fws.gov/lab/featheratlas/feather.php?Bird=RGPH_tail_female , from which I conclude you have a female ring-necked pheasant.
