My one female and my mandies. They share a cage



Thats the male.. He goes nuts when people get too close. He needs to be handled more.

Could you post some pics or tell us where to find them? What all crosses do you have?

I was talking to a customer today about ringneck pheasants. He said he had some 'pure Chinese ringnecks' so I asked what kind. He said they were all bluebacks. I asked what subspecies of ringneck he had and he could only answer with "I got them at the feed store as pure Chinese ringnecks, they're not cross-bred" which I responded with "If you got them at the feed store, they're just a ringneck type mutt with who knows how many different Phasianus cochicus subspecies mixed in". The guy shrugged and said he knew they were pure and that's all he cares about.

I am not sure what mine are. All I know they are ringnecks. I raised the one female for a school project (there was 9 total birds but I only kept 1) and that one came from a hatchery in the area. The other 2 I bought from a guy. So who knows...

No chicken/pheasant hybrids are quite rare.

That is an interesting fact. I had a silkie hen hatched and raised two Ring-necked pheasants. They grew up with the Silkie temperament/behavior. It was all heaven until I caught the male pheasant trying to mate with the hens. So I moved him to a separate pen with a female pheasant companion. He had no interest in her...the Silkie hens was all he ever wanted. After a month of watching him stare at the silkie coop day and night, I gave it to a friend of mine...two days later he escaped.
I was afraid of letting him mate with silkie hens because of size.

How do I post pics
Thanks

 

[wildlifeartist1]

I figured out how to post pics - these are all different hybrids. I have many more pics of different hybrids. If you guys would like to see more, let me know.

Can you list what they are?
Or what are the parents?
