Crossbreed pheasant and chicken

[TGeysen]

Hey, I've hatched eggs at home and the chicks looks like pheasant chicks, only, they came out of chicken eggs and are mutch bigger than normal pheasant chicks. I have a ringneck pheasant rooster among my flock of chickens, so I think they have crossbred but I'm not sure. Does anyone now something more about this? The photo is from when the chick was about a day old

It is possible, but doesn't happen often. The chicks don't normally live long. Honestly your chick looks like a chicken chick to me, but time will tell. There was a long thread about someone who had some hybrids hatch, I think it was in the pheasant section. Good luck and post some more pictures.

IDK much about pheasants and nothing about pheasant/chicken hybrids but it's been sure looks more pheasant like then chick like.

The chick looks eb instead and has a comb, the Ringneck Pheasants I have seen lack a comb,

Here is a video of Ringneck/Chicken Hybrid, check his Chanel he has videos of F1 males and a single F1 Female.

Thanks for your answer, I don't now much about chickens, but how can you tell it has a comb at this young age, just curious?

It will be easier to tell after it feathers out but for now looks like a chicken chick.

Not only does the chick has a comb, it has a single comb. The chicks comb is formed on the chick's embryo at 12 days of gestation.
