Didn't know you could keep them together in a pen. Is that a chicken to the left?
To the very left is an SSC coturnix quail, then the middle is my one melanistic pheasant, and on the right is a (I think) a Scarlet coturnix. Game birds aren't 'supposed' to be kept with chickens because the chooks have diseases they can 't handle, but people do. That's why we have pheasant chicken hybrids.

Would love to see pics of your pheasant-chickens!

Sadly I don't have any. When I said "we" I meant people. Sorry, I'm always so confusing. But here are some screenshots of hybrids online!

Had two eggs for breakfast. Different to "crack" than a chicken or duck egg. I found a quail egg cutter on-line to purchase, but don't like to purchase kitchen gadgets if I don't need to. I will work on streamlining opening quail eggs for now.
I found a quick saw with a serrated steak knife worked great.
