A chicken and pheasant hybrid is not going to live a long and healthy life. Inbreeding can be a problem if you're not keeping records or banding birds but it's alot easier to fix than bloodlines being genetically polluted.

Good thing there's plenty of ringneck blood to work with. Hell you can buy them from hatcheries by the 100. I don't think people use the rare types you're talking about to breed with chicken hens anyway.

There are 4 junglefowl species: red junglefowl, grey junglefowl, green junglefowl, and ceylon (or Sri Lanka) junglefowl. Within the reds, there are 5 subspecies: murghi, spadiceus, gallus, jabouillei, and bankiva. Most "junglefowl" people have are actually just chickens and are not true junglefowl (it is equivalent to saying a siberian husky is a wolf).

Pheasant chicken crosses do occur but they are rare... there are studies on various chicken hybrids.
