Would it be possible to make a Peafowl/..... Hybrid?

[maran man]

Have you had any success?

not yet im aitingon my peahens to come into breeding season

What laboratory are you working out of?

Im not in a lab this is a bacyard projcet

You are most likely to be unsuccessful then. I haven't heard of a single documented successful hybridization between the two species. They simply aren't compatible. There has been a reported case of a turkey/pheasant hybrid, but it was in 1761 and wasn't fully confirmed. There have been a few chicken x peafowl and guinea x peafowl, but they were accomplished under laboratory situations.

I did not know that it was done in the lab, I just assumed it was done in by some backyard breeder.

I think a few incidents of peafowl x guineas have occurred with breeders, but the offspring haven't lived very long.

I've come across 3 AND 1 WAS A LAB AND 2 WHERE NATURAL so im hopeful

Interesting..do you have any photos?

there have been a few crosses with peas goggle it and you will see the images..none live long enough to breed.
he wants to have fertile hybrids which can't be done just by backyard breeding.

Some hybrid crosses have chromosomes do not pair evenly during meiosis, or gamete formation. There is a stage during meiosis that has to occur called homolog pairing and crossing over, which can not occur if chromosomes are not the same size or shape. During the first stage of meiosis the two sets of chromosomes double so that there are four copies of each chromosome. The four similar chromosomes (called chromatids at this point) all align in a homolog pair. The actual physical exchange of genetic material then occurs, at least once per chromosome. If this does not occur, then the cell does not divide and the sperm or egg is sterile. If this always happens because the chromosomes do not align, then the animal is sterile. In addition, if the chromosomes each contain the same genetic material, but it is rearranged, then unequal crossing over can occur and result in duplications or deletions of parts of chromosomes-- if a critical gene is deleted or duplicated the animal may not survive to term or even to adulthood.

i'm hopefully because i saw him riding on a hen yesturday

I saw one of mine "riding" a towel and P-Dawg tried to "ride" my slippered foot.
