Yes you can get white phessies its traditional on shoots up here to put a couple of whites out and the unfortunate gun to put 50 quid into the beaters pot or sweep.There was a shoot i believe put out over 1000 white ones.. one year..

Ive seen white birds,, Blac birds,, When i worked on a hatchery for a few days i came across a faifr amount of white birds and black birds,, Shoots fine people for shooting them sometimes to raise money,, its not un-common fir Other birds such as reeves.golden pheasnts,, Guinea fowl etc to be realsed to.

there's an estate few villages away that used to stock almost exclusively black birds. they've still got plenty of wild-bred ones knocking about. poacher-proofing, i believe was the idea behind it.

white birds are sometimes released as markers, to find out how far the birds are travelling.

Have seen em on our local shoot it was £50 if you got one.

Beaters day was loaded with shouts of cock bird when one appeared :whistling:

Thought guinea fowl used to be released with the phesants as 'warning' birds cos of their call?
