Ok so I have chicken eggs in my incubator due for lockdown tomorrow but I also put golden pheasant eggs in there at the same time and they take 3 days longer is it ok to raise humidity that soon or is this just going to be a horrible thing!!!!
 
I think they will probably be okay, however be careful with the humidity. When I first started hatching, I followed the instructions on adding water to incubators exactly. My hatches were awful, most of the chicks died. Now I don't add any water, except perhaps a little right before hatch time -I also don't do "lockdown," but different people have different opinions on that- and now I estimate my hatch rates at around 90% or more.

If the pheasant eggs have lost sufficient moisture they should be ok. It's not ideal, but it doesn't mean it won't work.
 
So far 4 days after all my ameraucana chicks hatched my 11st pheasant just hatched and one has pipped!!! Worried about my incubator being so nasty from all the chicks that hatched hope they don't get sick.....what would you guys do at this point? Just let it be and hope it's going to be ok or take it out and blow dry it or something so it's not running around in the nasty stuff??

After my chicks hatched I took them straight out and put them under the heat plate. And They were fine. They stayed lay down until they where dry and fluffy
