Thanks BBB!!
Any thing else I need to know?

That bout covers it, if you have any more questions that come up though, feel free to ask away

OK!!
Will goldens and Impeyans/Tragopans interbreed?

 

[BobwhiteQuailLover]

Would it be safe to keep a golden hen with a TRAGOPAN hen?

not a big risk there, though yes they can, they usually wont, similar subspecies, like all the goldens and amherts will easily, different trags together will, the eared to eared will, longtails will with each other, IE mikado and reeves.
As long as they are way off in similarity to body type, usually they are okay, but remember it's always possible.

goldens are too bad in mixed collections, that trag hen may not like it and jump her though

What do you mean?

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

mistyped, mean the goldens ARENT too bad

 

[BobwhiteQuailLover]

So, they CAN be in the same cage?
Where should I look for impeyan pheasants for sale?

well, dont overlook the part about that tragopan hen jumping her. The golden wont hurt the trag, but cant say the same for the trag verses golden.
Honestly, these are best penned, as 1 breeding group of one species per pen

Try the GBWF for sale site, or the Game Bird Breeders Gazette, or the A.P.W.S. magazines, they are all loaded with classified ads
