@ Lophura would you mind telling me where theses charts are found? I'd be truly interested in seeing them. I do agree most people want information fed to them. Not only that but as technology increases they will want it fed to them more frequently and faster. I haven't had pheasants for years now so I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to them but we are on the same team here. Since I don't have pheasants anymore I have been focusing these last few years on researching histories of specific chicken breeds and like you said the information is usually out there, but you have to put in real effort to find it and piece it together. I wasn't saying that the hybridization needs to continue for educational purposes, rather I was saying that since some people do whatever they wish then we could try to use what they do to help the pure species....as you said "here's what not to do".
