Own plenty of land zoned ag outside city limits but as of now I only have a hand full of chickens but this may be a side project in the future I could use input from people with such knowledge when I get to it :)
By Line breeding I mean if need be taking the product of the higher possible fertility rate of a chicken outcross back to the fertile f1 or grand parent species with higher chance of producing fertile young like the pheasant its all hypothetical ofcourse but I'm naturally good at understanding...
A few reasons genetic diversity hardyness a new look and curiousity to see if it can be done I've done many things simular with guppies, mice, rat snakes and south american chiclids aswell as bred apbts for conformation and weight pull
Question on genetics and breeding which I have a nack for but never tried hybrids but from what I can understand most common pheasant x chickens are fertile but only male guini x chickens are fertile so could I breed a M F1 chicken x guini to a F F1 pheasant x chicken?
