Do you by chance have any green pheasants available for purchase? Or any leads on a pair? Thank you

I saw one was a Chicken/Pheasant hybrid. Will they commonly breed if kept together?

No

 

[Matieus27]

No

If they don’t commonly cross how do you get the hybrids?

While its not a common occurance, a pheasant and chicken can crossbreed, but it's a "dead end" street. The offspring between a pheasant and chicken will be sterile...usually, there are some reports of the offspring being fertile but I have not found any positive proof of it, other than hear say.

I have a book about avian crosses and it says the silver pheasant and chicken will cross and the males are partially fertile.

What's the title of the book and who is the author?

I made a mistake saying the book said the males were partially fertile I read that somewhere else apparently the book says that most die as embryos. But I have read accounts else where that say the cross produces partially viable males. Just clearing that up as I don’t want to spread misinformation.
