Are chicken hybrids real

[RiDaGeckoGuy]

I know the chicken Turkey hybrid is fake and just a naked neck but I’ve seen Guinea chicken and chicken pheasant hybrids so are those real

Yes.

Naked necks were called turkens as a sales gimmick, just like how silkies were called a cross between a chicken and a rabbit

No but are the pheasant chicken and guinia chickens real

Yes.

As I understand it those crosses are possible, but the offspring seldom survive and are usually infertile (think mule).

Once you get past the first generation both survival and fertility increase.

Weird they look so different but can be mixed

I saw what I think was a quail-pigeon cross once. That thing looked weird. It was raised as a quail by a quail mother, but it flew well and its call wasn't quail at all. It's topknot was about half the size it should have been and as an adult the bird was bigger than a quail.

I don't think quail-pigeon hybrids are possible. They are not from the same Clade. Let's say you mated it somehow. If the chromosome numbers are not the same, you cannot get healthy birds.
