Howdy Soley :frow and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Golden pheasants are relatively easy to raise. A large pen is best for them in but a single bird can get by with a smaller area.
A single male will do ok by it's self.
If it has curly toes at 3 + years, they will not straighten out ....only breaking them and resetting would straighten them out, and would be stressful to the bird and require a vet performing the reset.
They should be fed a complete and balanced feed ration of 24% protein. Their habitat should be well landscaped, large smooth rocks, grasses, shrubs and small trees if the enclosure is large enough to do so....makes for healthier birds.
Another point...do not raise chickens anywhere near pheasants. Chickens have and can tolerate alot of diseases that will kill a pheasant, as well as other gamebirds

Thanks for joining our community! Good luck with your birds.
