Pheasant has a crush on my chicken?

[Camry08]

I found a pheasant on the side of the road a little over a year ago with his tail missing. He’s been living in an open bin in my room since. He’s well behaved and feels most secure in his bin so he never leaves until recently… I had to bring one of my hens home due to noticing her becoming lame in the legs. I had to put down a chicken 5 months earlier due to paralysis from what the vet thought was most likely markets. My current hen Birch has another vet appointment soon we’ve already done X rays and tried an anti inflammatory pain med to see if it was muscle trauma (meds did nothing so next appointment she gets an ultrasound). My worry is she may give him a disease I would have moved him to my coop if I wasn’t pretty sure my boys would kill him. He’s so smitten with her constantly visiting her bin and flapping his wings and screaming (it spooks her but he thinks he’s charming). I can’t seem to get him to stay in his own bin now he want to sleep near her. I’m conflicted should I let them continue their relationship? Birch doesn’t seem to mind him while pheasant man seems quite taken by her.

Pheasants can catch diseases from chickens so I'd advise against keeping them in close quarters.
He might be very lonely, most birds a social flock animals and need other of their species for their mental health.

That's cute. Pheasants can catch Marek's, but I think it's rare.
