Poultry, domesticated fowl, will fight if there is a large size difference

It can be done but only if you have enough space for a large enclosure. Each species require/utilize different areas of an enclosure.
Understanding the accommodations need for each species will go a long way in providing a 'stress free' environment for them as well as for you!

I have a couple of pens where the soil has eroded away from the base boards, leaving a gap under the board. The quail go between their pen and the pheasants pen. There has been no fighting or bickering among them, even with chicks....they weren't harmed by the pheasants (Melanistic Ringnecked). True pheasants in general, have a 'mean streak' in them, where as Ornimentals are more passive. see this thread;

With this having been said, every birds disposition is unique...it's a 'trial and error' type situation. What works for me, may not work for you!

No, fighting will happen.

Yeah after what people said I'm either making a coturnix quail aviary OR a golden pheasant one but not both together

I currently house them together (mainly because of limited space), but the pheasants do pick on the quails a bit.
