Can Runner ducks and Silver pheasants live together.

[the beginner]

I am more or less wondering if there are any health concerns as I know that chickens and pheasants aren't compatible together as chickens can carry diesies that pheasants can't tolerate. Is that the same with ducks and pheasants? Also any tips on raising silver pheasants would be helpful.


Thank you.

Kind regards,

Raph

Pheasants do best in a dry environment - ducks make a mess. I think it would be best if the species were kept separate.

it’s not a good idea to mix pheasant with adult ducks. as stated above, ducks are extremely messy and the drakes can traumatize your pheasant hens

Plus they need different feed which would be near impossible to stop them from eating the wrong feed if you have 2 feed stations.
