Ameraucanas or austrolorps sound like the types of bird you’re looking for

What are the dimensions of the new coop that you are getting? Depending on the size will determine how many more chickens you can get.

It’s not a good idea to mix poultry species. The pheasants won’t free range, instead they’ll fly away and won’t return.

As in mix quail, Pheasants, And chickens in together? That's a recipe for disaster. Both the quails And pheasants will need separate coops. The quail are far too small to be kept with pheasants or chickens and the chickens will easily transfer diseases to your Pheasants if you keep them in with them.

Right now I dont know the precentage of protien, but we give them a mix of cracked corn bananna meleworms, they eat there hay bedding, and oysters, we are getting scratch this week when my father gets payed

Your flock is already maxing out your current coop. A roo in the mix requires even more room than the 4 s.f./chicken. And your flock is underfed. They need a balanced feed ration of at least 16% protein. If you feed them any scratch, your base ration should be even more protein. If your family can't afford that, then you should not be adding more birds. And you should not be adding a single bird, especially to a flock that already has aggression and behavior problems. I suggest that you get the new coop up and running, do not mix bird species, provide appropriate feed. Then, after all of that is done, look at getting a couple chickens for yourself.

If you have a rooster and a mean hen I would suggest a wyandotte. It's less likely she'll be bullied, but not the nicest breed. However they are beautiful so they would be good for shows.
