Excellent photos again Wildlifeartist. I have learnt a lot about the hybrids being fertile from your posts. I always believed that crossing two different families of pheasants resulted in a sterile bird. Which comes from years of people spouting their beliefs rather than actual proof. Glad to...

Wildlife Artist- I just seen the photos of the hybrids you posted awhile ago. I don't get on here very much. Awesome photos. Thank you for sharing. Very Interesting.

Quote: Like I have stated in the past, I am NOT an expert. You are right we should use sterile and fertile, but I doubt that will happen. When I was talking about the only negative of making sterile hybrids being a "wasted breeding season" I wasn't speaking specifically about your birds, but...

Quote: I disagree about this topic "going nowhere"; if a few beginners learn that hybrids and crosses are possible, they will hopefully be more inclined to learn. Sorry I did not know you can't post any personal info- I see people post names of breeders on here all the time. Some anonymous...

Quote: Growing up I was taught the term hybrid is used for sterile animals and the term crossed is used for breedable animals. Yes you are correct they can be used for both, but if the industry used these terms the way me and many breeders that I know use the terms, it would be alot less...

Quote: Gon4elk- This thread is about "hybrid" pheasants not "crossed" pheasants. If you would like to discuss the crossing of different Ringnecks, please start a thread about that. What state are you in? do you have a website? do you have any credentials besides "steve"? I have a link to my...

Quote: This is why America is great, we can all have our own OPINION. How is producing an infertile hybrid causing the pure strains to be lost??? I really would like to know.

Quote: Just for the record, the right definition of hybrid is an animal resulting from the cross of two different species (per example Lady Amherst Pheasant x Golden Pheasant). Then, an hybrid may (or not) be fertile (per example Male Mule is an infertile hybrid, and a 'Lady Amherst Pheasant x...

Reeves x Ringneck

Quote: My opinion is- there are so many factors it is hard to give you a Black & White answer. Pen size, which types of pheasants, time of year, age, etc will all have an influencing factor to success. With that said- we do house several male pheasants of various types together on display at...

Hey Resolution Happy Birthday! Hope your having fun in your travels!

Quote: I can only offer my personal experience: I DO NOT consider myself an expert! Hybrid Pheasants are the result of breeding two pheasants from DIFFERENT family groups and are usually sterile. For example breeding a Ringneck (true pheasant family) and a Reeves pheasant (long tailed pheasant...

Quote: Not sure if I can remember all the way back to math class: Red Golden X Lady Amherst cross= generation 1 is 50% (1/2) Red Golden X 50% hen= generation 2 is 75% red golden (3/4) Red Golden X 75% hen= generation 3 is 87.5% red golden (7/8) Red Golden X 87.5% hen= generation 4 is 93.75%...

Quail's hollar Farm : I do have to say, I personally don't like hybrids, but if they are managed properly and are not bred with other birds I don't see the harm. I would just hate to see a hybrid mixed with purebloods and then are sold to the general public. It's like golden and lady amhersts...

Quote: How is crossing a pheasant with a chicken.........wiping out the purebreeds?

Quote: Is that a question for me? or a general statement?

Quote: How? please explain.

moving to the top for mac91 to see photos of hybrids.

Quote: No chicken/pheasant hybrids are quite rare.
