chickens and pheasants together in same run?

[aestep]

New to the chicken game like to eat pheasant would like to raise both need advice if they can be together in the same run

 

[Kevin565]

I wouldn't advise it. Chickens can pass diseases that will kill pheasants.

Thanks was thinking about a hen and rooster how much space do they need

 

[Kevin565]

Bantam or Large Fowl?

 

[fowlsessed]

I think he means a pair of pheasants, maybe?. aestep, What breed/species?

 

[fowlsessed]

BTW, it's quite dangerous mixing those two species, disease is often an issue (not always, many people do it, and even create hybrids) and aggression can sometimes prove problematic, large living quarters, plenty of cover, more than one water/feed station may remedy that, though.

 

[aestep]

Not sure probably the same kind I hunt

 

[fowlsessed]

Probably some mutations of the Chinese Ringnecks then. More experienced folk, what do they need, 150' sg. feet per pair?

 

[fowlsessed]

I think they're prone to start picking each other bad if crowded.
