Pheasants and Chuckars together?

[poultrylady]

I have a 10 x10 dog kennel, 6' high with a permanent pitched tin roof built on it, I am going to put my 15 adult Chuckars in it and I was wondering if I could also put a pair of red golden pheasants in with them? It will have alot of branches and cover in it. Does anyone raise these birds together? I wonder if it can be done or will the chuckars attack the pheasants? This is my first time with both breeds, I did raise the chuckars from eggs but I just bought the pheasants, neither one has been in the pen yet so it will be a new home for both breeds if that makes a differance. Thanks

My chukars pick on my quail and pheasants.All are the same age. I clipped their beaks and that has helped.

I guess I wouldn't recommend it. Thats a bit tight for that arrangement. IMO

That is a small area for game birds. but if you are limited on space you can use peepers and trim the beaks.

Thanks for the replys. I decided to keep them seperate and started a big pen for the chukars today. I am not limited on space to build another pen, my carpentry skills just are not that good. But I worked on it all day today and it dosen't look that bad, it should be finished in a few days. Hopefully.
