I love your sense of humor!!! I have read that chicken/pheasant hybrids are possible but the development of the chick can be problematic. Some don't develop properly and die in the egg, but some do survive after hatching. A confession ... I am one of those crazy scientist (but not too crazy)...

My lovely ringneck pheasant has preferred to mate with my Ameraucana rooster. How soon can we expect eggs (they are now mating). I look forward to hearing from you.

I am very new to chickens so I am uncertain as to when to expect eggs after our hens have mated with our rooster. We are willing to allow some of the eggs to be hatched by one of our hens. I look forward to hearing from you.
