Pheasant/chicken hybrid photos

Wonder what happened to this project. Males have a decent chance of being fertile, so a hybrid F1 could easily mate female chickens for 1/4th pheasant fertile offspring

I just found this thread and I think it’s absolutely fascinating! Hope we get to see more updates on these projects! I keep Golden Pheasants with my Red Jungle Fowl but I’ve never had them cross with each other and tbh I never thought about it.
I have a roo to three hens ratio on each.

Have you had any hybrid that lays eggs or that try to mount? It would seem that their Sterility is due to their sexual organs not developing successfully. Perhaps if one starts with hormone treatment early as chicks one could get a fully developed male or hen that would lay or mount

hormone treatment? Is that even possible for pheasants or chickens?

Eventhough you have responded to an old thread and not likely to get a response on your question, I'll answer it....yes, you could do hormone treatments but it would be costly and no 'good' outcome would results from that experiment.
