Can reevs co exist with silvers?

[animals1981]

In a very large area? Has anyone tried? Also guinea fowl and larger pheasants. Does it work.

I'm sure it's been done before, I've never tried to raise guineas with anything but guineas....so Idk.
As far as Reeves and Silvers together as long as they are all males and no females around, you maybe could get away with it.
My personal experience with Reeves pheasants is that they are extremely aggressive.
You can not raise Reeves chicks with other species of pheasant chicks, the Reeves chicks will peck any chick to death, that's not a Reeves. I also absolutely have to have a barrier between a pen of Reeves and any other pheasants or they will fight constantly between the wire. These have been my experiences, yours may and probably will differ. Every pheasant has it's own personality, just like humans....some get along well together, some not so much! HTH

Silvers are very aggressive, reeves are also very aggressive. I would not try it.

As long as breeding season is long gone,you should be able to house all males together with no problems as long as your pen is huge.I'd say 20x40 for up to 10 birds.Do not add any ringneck breeds to this or there will be blood..You will have to keep an eye on them,but they should do fine.Many perches and feed stations so everyone can have their own space.Keep an eye on them.
In N.H.,Tony.

3 sunny days in a row this time of year good luck
we have 25 x 85 pens and it is hard to have them in there just 25 Reeves or Silvers with blinders
and xmas trees too
all birds are different but never put Reeves/Slivers together

towards other birds which did you find more nasty usually? My silvers free range and come back.
