Yes, chickens can be mated with pheasants. Chickens and pheasants have 78 pairs of chromosomes. That is the first thing to considered, because the chromosome number has to match up to produce a viable, fertile hybrid. The second thing is whether or not the genes are close enough matches to produce a viable hybrid. And besides the genetics problems, there is the physical structural differences between the different types of birds.
Domestic chickens have been produced fertile offspring with the following:
- Silver Pheasants,
- Red Junglefowl,
- Green Junglefowl,
- peafowl,
- chachalacas,
- Capercaillie,
- Grouse,
- Quail,
- curassows,
- guans
- guineafowl
- Ring-neck Pheasant
Chickens do not produce viable offspring when mated with turkeys. Turkeys have 80 chromosomal pairs versus the chicken's 78.
