Pheasant Info?

[Chickenhatcher89]

I am needing the lowdown on pheasants. Like the basic care of them and housing that would work best. Also if they can be housed with any other kind of poultry. Any information would be great I am going to be getting some assorted types of pheasant eggs soon.
Thanks.

Basic care and housing varies on the species you are getting.
