Hybrid Game Farm
C tier
Hybrid game farm pheasant covers crossbred release and meat birds selected for docility in the pen, uniform size, and adequate flight for commercial shoots. Flavour is mild and lean—reliable but rarely as intense as truly wild hill birds. Perfect for high-volume banqueting, pub roasts, and teaching game cookery without wild variability. Brine or bard to protect breast. The industrial backbone of modern pheasant supply.
Also known as: Hybrid game farm pheasant, Commercial pen pheasant
