So they are partially fertile?

Yes,there were few cases where such female hybrids laid eggs but just some old pdf description without any reliable pics.What I know for sure is that such hybrids can inherit the combs from chicken （very tiny but seeable）, which ringneck x chicken(100%infertile)can't. Also, the head of female hybrid is almost identical to the one of domestic hen except that it's fully covered with plumage and way bigger and rounder.

Anyway, the truth isn't far behind us.I have 2 friends raising such hybrids that probably haven't been fullgrown yet. I'll let you know once informed of their fertility, my friend

So the yellowish one is a male or female? Do you know what breed of chicken it was crossed with?

Male.As you can see, its coloration on plumage has turned from light buff into bright orange over time.According to the owner, it's a mixed duccle rooster x female Golden hybrid.The father of the whitish big- headed hen is a motley-colored ♂Silkie，tho. Maybe you guys should turn to wildlifeartist who has most pheasant hybrids in this forum.He probably has such hybrids or at least know their ins and outs, too. Didn't he say that he was gonna post his chicken Xs soon ?
