So I currently have a ringneck rooster in with two chicken hens and one went broody. Would the pheasant rooster hurt her chicks? If not I’m planning to put pheasant eggs under her.

I wouldn't chance it....he may or may not! I had a ringnecked cockbird that killed his own offspring!...this in pen with just the the hen and he in it.
I've also had some quail chicks get into the same pen and the cockbird was actually afraid to go near them! :lol:

If you decide to do it....keep a 'weathered eye' upon them, incase he decides it's his territory and no intruders allowed!
