Pheasant with ducks? Or chickens?

We don’t have enough room. We only have two pens. One for ducks and one for chickens. She’s not ours nor do we know where she came from. We are happy to keep her, but it’d made our life easier if we could keep her with our other animals as we have dogs that run down there. We’re already attached and don’t want to get rid of her but if it’s what’s best then we will.
If your wanting to keep her around then just keep doing what you are now. Put out feed and water for her. She can fly and get away from dogs, cats are her worse predator, attacking her while on her roost at night.
Tony is absolutely correct, you don't want chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, etc...around pheasants because of the reasons he stated.
She may stay around or she may move on, it's a toss up as to what may happen.

It’s not advisable for them to even be close to each other but the pumpkin patch where she sleeps is less than a meter away from the pen.
 
Are you sure it's a hen?If it's young it mau not be showing colors yet.Can you post a pic and we can see what it is?Pumpkin patch?They love pumpkin and it's also a natural wormer for them and others.If you want to keep a pair a pen at least 4x12 is good but bigger is always better.I like my pens tall enough so I don't have to duck down,so 6'hi is good,plus it gives them a good roosting height.
In N.H.,Tony.
