Hatching Pheasant eggs???

http://www.peafowlareus.com/hatching_chart.asp
This is a great website I found a while back.

I have hatched Pheasant eggs. They take 24 to 28 days to hatch but everything else is the same.

Yep, do the same as chicken eggs and you will be fine. Ruffed pheasants tend to come around 22-24 days for me. I stop the turner on day 19.
You have golden and amherst eggs to incubate?? It is way off-season right now.

I hatch Ringneck Pheasants. I stop turning on day 21.

I don't incubate at the humidity recommended. I incubate at around 35% to 40% during incubation and around 70% at lockdown.

I will be hatching more Ringnecks out to when I get the eggs. I love to watch the Pheasants.

Cmom,

I have a few questions that I hope you could answer for me.. ( or any other member too)

1. I have a ringneck hen who is currently laying, however, she sporadically lays them all over the pen and not in a nest. The hen and rooster are separated. Idk if you have had pheasants do that, but i don't think it's normal. lol

2. If she doesn't start making a nest (which i don't think she will) i want to gather the eggs and incubate them. - this is where most of my ??? come from..

I attempted to hatch them last year with no success so i would like to know an experienced hatchers thought..

3. I made a Styrofoam incubator with a light and a glass window in the front. I wanted to modify it and add a fan and possibly my own turner so i don't have to keep opening the lid and letting the heat come out.. what do you think on Styrofoam incubators?

4. how do you keep the temp and humidity consistent without it fluctuating dramatically? - i don't have that high of a light wattage..

I think that's all of my questions! ha I hope you can answer them!

Oh, lastly.. if I can't get my pheasant to nest, or my incubator to do its job, what do you think about a broody hen hatching them for me????

Thanks a bunch!
