My Breeder Friend Keeps A Quintet Of Melanistics In With A Few Modern game Pullets In A Pen 3x9 metres With No Problems. I Think She Gives 'Em More Anti Biotics Than Usual, And That Helps, I Guess.

That and they are ringnecks. Ringnecks have pretty much been domesticated over the years and are much tuffer than ornamentals

I have had ring necks and red golden pheasants, and raised them with chickens. They were free range and got along about the same as everything else I had here. Yes, they can catch some things that chickens carry, just like our pea fowl and turkeys can. You just gotta keep a closer eye on then as they are growing and medicate accordingly. Once grown, their immune system usually kicks in.

I have my red golden pheasants in with my chickens. They have a large outdoor pen and roost. They do not go inside with the chickens at night and everyone seems to be doing fine.
