Looking to get pheasants for meat: What shoud I know?

[Alicia G]

I am looking at trying my hand at raising ringnecks for meat (along with some other types of birds) and I want to know I there is to raise these birds. I wouldn't be getting more then 15. So like any clueless person, I have lots of questions

So here they are.
-What can I feed them?
-How much space do they need?
-How long does it take them to mature for the freezer?
-Are they OK around other animals? (ducks/chickens/turkeys)
-What is your experience with them?
-Did you like them?
-Would it be an animal you would recommend to others?
All advice is appreciated

Thanks
