We started with one Reeves cock, which produced one fertile female and two fertile cocks from mating with a few ringneck hens.We started backcrossing these hybrid cocks to Ringneck hens; trying to get fertile hens to mate to the Reeves cock. In the meantime the Reeves cock died, so we proceeded with the back crosses. Can't remember if it was the first or second backcross tHat produced the partially fertile flock - which then produced the highly fertile flock. Was fascinating. The key was flock mating and fairly large numbers like thirty or more with no selection of the breeders. We used all the hens and all the roosters from each hatch of backcrosses. I am pretty sure these results were from the first backcross of the F1 hybrid cocks to the Ringneck hens. If we had chosen a half dozen birds to breed together, we would probably have gotten results that just showed infertility and very few, if any normal chicks. I kept records of all this back in the period In the 80s, but I left in 1988 and went to Australia, so my records were left behind. I would love to repeat this study, but currently am not in possession of the facilities (pens etc.) to do so.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171659746286832522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553998527275861247.post-88577577474014310172019-11-18T21:37:38.070+00:002019-11-18T21:37:38.070+00:00That's very interesting, thanks for letting us...That's very interesting, thanks for letting us know about that.

By backcrossing to Phasianus twice, we achieved a flock of partially fertile hens with their brothers of probably good fertility. Eggs were produced and incubated and many were infertile, many dead in shell, but some hatched normally. These normal chicks were raised and again flock mated and the eggs hatched just as in a normal flock of Phasianus. Good fertility, good hatchability and normal viability. The project then ended.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171659746286832522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553998527275861247.post-23886462888861223292019-08-17T21:11:37.771+01:002019-08-17T21:11:37.771+01:00I am not aware of any examples of Muscovy Duck x s...I am not aware of any examples of Muscovy Duck x swan hybrids, although that does not necessarily mean that it is not possible.
