Chicken cross pheasant????

[Nickeyo]

I have various chicken breeds including Phoenix bantams and I also have loads of pheasants wandering my fields and garden and I've always thought my Phoenix are very pheasant like. I was wondering if it's possible to cross them and get a fertile batch of offspring .

Also would it be possible to get a guinea fowl cross chicken hybrid because my neighbour has lots of guineas and I was curious if his poultry and guineas cross or not.

A guinea and chicken cross is possible but it is pretty rare, here is a link from feathersite: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Guineas/BRKGuinHybrid.html

Both crosses are possible but very rare. I've heard the hybrids don't live very long either.

Chickens can also be crossed with pheasants. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/NDG/Pheas/RingN/BRKRingNHybrids.html

I have have read that the closer a chicken/guinea resembles a chicken the shorter they will live
