Is it possible to keep pheasants with turkeys?

I have a tom and 6 hens in a closed in run in my backyard, and I was wondering since they were game birds could I possibly put my pheasants *just 2* out with them? Has anyone had any success in raising pheasants alongside with turkeys or do they need a separate place to go? I've seen pheasants raised with other gamebirds but never next to heritage turkeys and wanted to know what others have tired and what others have done? There are plenty of 'escape routes' for everyone in the run as it's rather big and fully enclosed so 'hiding' or space isn't a problem, just wanted to know if it's been done with anyone else really. Thank you in advance!
 
I think I would worry about the turkeys being aggressive toward the pheasants the same way they can be with chickens. @muddy75, what do you think>
it would definitely be a risk but would need more information before I would say absolutely not. Ive had several mixed flocks over the years with very few losses overall.
