I do not like breeding pheasants to produce crosses, but I DO NOT have a problem with hybrids.

Did you (or anyone) known: how many percent eggs fertilized when HYBRID? (Reeves/ Ringneck, Silver pheasant/ Ringneck, Ringneck/ Chicken).
Thanks!

I think they are very neat birds, I have sold my collection of hybrids off, but they are unique.

Sorry I don't like using PM...... I prefer email.

Porcupines can control there quills very well, raising & spreading them when they feel threatened. African Crested porcupines are one of my favorite animals to bottle raise. When they are bottle raised they can be very friendly and alot of fun; then you can pet them and scratch them as you would a dog or cat- JUST one way though.


The one in this photo has her quills up because I just gave her a carrot and she wants to make sure I'm not going to take it away.

I saw one was a Chicken/Pheasant hybrid. Will they commonly breed if kept together?

No chicken/pheasant hybrids are quite rare.

Hi Randy
You stated that golden to lady Amherst are fertile to reproduce but what about Red Golden and Lady Amherst  are they the same family and will they be able to breed and be fertile to reproduce.

I always thought the Hybrid/crosses were interesting, yet dislike seeing pure lines polluted.  But like Spectrum, no problem with sterile hybrids. Crossesand hybrids are only good for show or taxidermy.  They are like "a box of chocolates....you never know what you'll get".
