Peafowl and turkeys cannot create offspring. To date, there have been ZERO offspring resulting from copulation of a turkey and peafowl. Like you said, they have different numbers of chromosomes, which makes it genetically impossible for them to reproduce and produce viable offspring.

Actually it is and there are handfuls of published studies on this already.

I know this is old, but it might help others. If it died during the first few hours, it might be present, but at 7 days, much less 1 day, it would never be present because of cell division. - sgarciabrooks

I know this post is I recently hatched an all white Polish with bluish eyes from Tolbunt Polish parents and have been on the search to find out info when I came across your post. I found a genetic arrival that explained I ended up with an all white Polish with bluish eyes from Tolbunt Polish...

And they don’t have a comb. They are super cool.

Yes it is, but the relevance of the thread is still current. I figured it needed some more input should another person search for answers. :)

Awesome! My guy weighs 9 lbs and I call him my Giant Silkie, but in all actuality he’s a Giant Satin since he has the smooth feathering.

That’s so interesting that the white skin came through as offspring from standard black skinned silkies. I’ve been breeding for this trait along with the blue egg gene for the last several years and finally got a batch of pure white birds that hatched form a small blue egg with the walnut comb...

I have an all white Satin and Silkie (I’ll snap a picture of her tonight). I’ve been breeding them that way for -almost 3 years. In addition to having white skin, they hatch from blue eggs. Still need many more generations to breed true, but getting closer.

Curious how this turned out, since it’s been over a decade. I did a project with crossing a Polish with a silkie and it created white, black with gold, and molted sultans (had I know it’s been over a decade, but I was wondering how this turned out. I’m only starting but three generations ago I...

My Mandarin runs right to me the second he see’s me and won’t leave my side. I wouldnt ping them cause that’s like breaking someone’s kneecaps to keep them hostage. I also have a wood duck that imprinted on me. He’s a pain in the butt, he knocks on my door until I answer it. He flys back and...

My hybrids mother was a wood duck and a red head pochard drake got into the pen and that’s how i got Kymani. He has yet to produce a fertilized egg with any of his hens.

It is interesting. They probably shouldn’t be in the same genus since mandarins have more chromosomes than any other duck. Not sure what the genetic difference is between the wood duck and other species, which does allow for hybridization, but creates infertile offspring (like the mule). All...

This post is forever ago, however, it not surprisingly easy. The woodduck hen does have a strip it’s just blended or comes to a point. When they are together, it’s easier to tell them apart.

I have a drake from a wood duck mom and red head pochard drake. He has several females, but has never produced offspring.

My female wooducks drake wasn’t paying attention and she breed with a red head pochard drake. I got one boy and he’s amazing. My question is, are the offspring able to procreate or are they fertile?

How much better than cochins? My Cochins lay 6-7x a week.

Ohhh man.. cause I have two beautiful Cochins who had 12 babies and one was born without feathers on his feet and has a black comb. Wth?

I know this is old, but I did a mega-analysis of the scientific data from published academic literature and in a nut shell, you are right, vaccinating for Mareks doesn’t give non vaccinated birds mareks, but instead vaccinated birds can still get Mareks and pass it along to non vaccinated birds...
