Yup that a cross. I got them as well.

They are classified as money birds to the shooting preserves.

Melanistic Cock crossed with a Ring-necked hen. He will continue to look like that. Get yourself an 6 Melanistic hens and put him in them.

  It would be interesting to see how that hen would go over with Game Wardens, in Pheasant country.  Carcass with feathered head being transported.  I'd guess most would pass it as a young rooster.

I've seen the Bluebacks, but this is the first one I've seen with the Blue breast. Makes me wonder if you could produce a Blue all over crossing the Blue-backed with a Melanistic ?

There is a Powder Blue Pheasant but it is not very good looking. They are around 250$ a pair..
