I, on the other hand, like breeding pheasants and crosses. I once bred (Reeves male X Ringneck female) hybrids. The female hybrid was small and never layed eggs. The two male hybrids were at least partially fertile and I mated them back to Ringneck hens (I had no Reeves hens). I got a good group...

Looks to me like you have some "Red" Goldens and some "Yellow" Goldens. I believe the Yellows are a dilute form of the normal Red phase.

Thanks!

I really wish you could list the pedigree of each hybrid pheasant. They are beautiful and very interesting.

To: MaxPedley, Sorry for the misunderstanding. It is just that the messages and replies do not follow each other in sequence, so I was confused that a reply to another message was for you. I apologize. I guess we should always start with the name of the person to whom we are talking...

To: Maran Farmer, No, I used a Reeves cock with Melanistic Mutant Hens. (Still Ringnecks - only black). I had no Reeves hen and I did not want to bring an outside bird into our large flock of disease-free Ringnecks. I decided to try to breed for a hen that could produce fertile hen offspring...

Sounds good.

I really appreciate your photos of hybrids. I would be very interested in knowing the parentage of each cross. I also looked at your multiphoto display of hybrids. Really beautiful. I have experience only with Reeves X Ringneck hybrids. Got a backcross group(F1 males X Ringneck hens) that were...

If you are trying to get pieds, you may have a long wait. New mutations occur very rarely. If you still want to use only your own stock, look for birds that have a white feather or more. Usually this occurs in the wings. Breed those with a white wingfeather together and see if any of the young...

I am very interested in hybrid pheasants and have some experience with them.It is a pity these photos do not have captions. Would be great to know the parent species.

Your mutts may be purebreds. Goldens do not achieve full color in their first year. Give them a couple of years. I really doubt they are hybrids. Any pictures? What species were they supposed to be when you bought them?

Many of the pheasant hybrids are not completely sterile. I have had Reeves male X R Golden also have fertile males. etc...
